There’s loads of random art applied to the side of some buildings in central Berlin. Here’s one example spotted back in September 2015.

This stately-looking tower overlooks a lock and canal along the Vltava River in Prague. Captured this scene on my visit to the Czech capital in September 2016.

On my three visits to London over the last decade, I’ve always been amazed at the number of cranes in the skyline. It was no different on my last visit there back in May.

This fantastic mural just off N.E. Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon, depicts some important figure in African American history. Snapped on my visit there in April 2016.

When I came across this at a local shopping mall a few weeks ago, I could hardly believe this was, essentially, the result of a really fancy cake decoration. These are Marvel Comics characters Rocket and Groot having a friendly moment together, depicted in a creation as part of The Calgary Sugarcraft Guild‘s annual competition at North Hill Centre last month.

A peek inside the new Central Library in downtown Calgary. It was still so very crowded last weekend … hoping for things to quiet down so I can snap a few more photos without getting in the way. (And get a closer look at the books/maps/documents, of course.)
