Paris, France

A few of my friends are visiting Paris at the moment … and I’m itching to get back one day for a proper visit. This is a view of the Place du Trocadéro, foreground, with the skyscrapers of La Défense off in the distance as they appeared in late 2012. If I recall correctly, this view is from the Eiffel Tower.

Here’s another giant mural in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal area. This one’s behind Moishe’s steakhouse (if I remember correctly), spotted back in February.

Calgary’s Brookfield Place office tower seen on a cloudy night a few weekends ago. The windows look as if they could stretch on to infinity.
