For good luck

This is the smallest statue in Stockholm, found in Gamla Stan. At only 15 cm tall, I can believe it! Also, not long after I snapped this shot, a hobo came by and snapped up all the cash …

This view is from my brief, quiet visit to Balestrand, Norway, in August.

Stockholm is hilly in many places, meaning lots of stairs and tunnels to get around.

For those among you who don’t live in Calgary, you should know our weather is … how shall I say … variable.
The photo on the left was taken yesterday; it was sunny and the daytime high was 25 to 27 Celsius, depending who you ask.
The photo on the right was taken today; definitely not sunny and the temperature has been falling since overnight, now hovering around 0 Celsius.
What a change!
