A view of the main commercial/tourist artery in Las Vegas from one of the many pedestrian footbridges spanning the road. It is also a lesson in perspective: The Trump Tower isn’t as close to The Strip at it appears.

This is the last photo I took of the little yellow house once belonging to Enoch Sales.

The building in Calgary’s Victoria Park neighbourhood, long in a state of disrepair, was the last remaining Queen Anne Revival-style home in the city. It had been slated to be part of an area revitalization project called the Rivers District.

The building burned in a two-alarm fire on Feb. 2, 2019, and was subsequently demolished.

In case you needed to be told this was one of the available activities in Las Vegas. Spotted back in December.

Because this is Las Vegas — or rather, this *was* Las Vegas, as it was seen about six weeks ago.

Yeehaw!

From last month: yup, that is a giant praying mantis with fire-emitting antennae in downtown Las Vegas.

Not the intended message on this neon sign in Las Vegas, but a message nonetheless.

Visited Las Vegas for the first time last month. Lots of cool stuff to see, as you would expect, including lots of accessible public art like this piece here along The Strip.
