Dear Santa

Santa Claus gets ready to take a peek at a last-minute Christmas wish before he checks his list twice and heads out on his annual visit. This scene was from a light show outside the Rio hotel in Las Vegas in December 2018.

Oh oh!

Last year, I captured this Christmas display (from behind) in the door of a business in the Downtown Container Park in Las Vegas. Little did I know what kind of “oh, oh” we were all in for in the year to follow.

Frosty and friends

From a couple of years ago: Frosty the Snowman (I presume?) hangs out with his pals as part of one of many displays at a winter lights show outside the Rio hotel in Las Vegas.

Party at the back

I’ve never wandered down the alley behind the businesses on Kensington Crescent N.W. in Calgary. Their back sides are definitely more colourful than their façades!

Quiet urban lagoon

The low(ish) morning sun lights up the clouds and the skyscrapers looming over Prince’s Island Park in Calgary, as seen about 10 days ago, when it was feeling a little more like spring than winter.
