Sparkling prairie jewel

Here’s a view captured a few nights ago from one of my favourite lookouts in Calgary: the top of McHugh Bluff.

Neon tree

This is one of the metallic wind-breaking “trees” on Stephen Avenue in Calgary.
And it’s actually a neon colour lit in LED … but why sweat the small stuff when it looks so neat at night?

Walking along Stephen Avenue? Flash a smile!

Spotted this on a utility box in the old quarter of San Diego, back in the fall.

Airport pardner

One of the many pieces of art to adorn the public spaces at Calgary International Airport.
Art is everywhere … and it’s not all western/cowboy themed.
There a life-size rock climber overlooking the main public lounge, a huge horse sculpture near the customs exit, aircraft hanging over one of the departure terminal, metallic etchings and carvings amid the floor tiles.
Every time I fly or pick someone up, I try to find something new, a little visual adventure to pass the time.

L'ombre de Vénus

This lovely shadow is cast from a sculpture called Venus Victorious by Renoir and Guino, displayed at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Eyes in the back of his head

Today, we revisit a post from last fall, Things you find in alleys.
Since I first snapped a photo of this mural, tucked away in a narrow alley in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood, I notice it’s been altered. Sometime near the holidays, I presume, someone added Christmas trees and decorations to all the windows. And this kitty had has grown some a pair of eyes … right where they shouldn’t be!

Perfect spot for lunch
