Galaxy of artificial fireflies

A view from a cool piece of art that on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.

“You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies” by artist Yayoi Kusama, above, is a darkened house of mirror filled with strings of colour-changing LEDs.

Below, I had some fun with the camera while inside the art display.

Stampede spirit

Although the COVID-19 pandemic put practically all of the Calgary Stampede’s activities on hold this year, the organization put on a fireworks display on what would have been the first and last days of the fair/rodeo.

Here was the view from Scotsman’s Hill in Ramsay on the night of the second show on Sunday, July 12, 2020.

Someone added Christmas decorations to a tree in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood back during the holiday season … and they are still there!

Two metres

City crews have painted reminders like this one all along the Bow River Pathway, to physically show what that all-important two-metre separation looks like.
