A view of the Shard skyscraper and surrounding area in London, seen just before sunset from the observation deck atop the Tate Modern art museum on my last visit to the U.K. capital in September 2015.

Berlin, Germany

The marquee of an abandoned movie theatre in Berlin, Germany, hides an appropriate former name for the place, which Google tells me means “Do not play”. The last time I was there, in September 2015, the building was in a state of disrepair and was covered with all sorts of art.

Poppies

These poppy-adorned banners flutter every day over Memorial Drive in Calgary, providing a constant reminder of why we commemorate Remembrance Day today.

Nice job!

One of the older buildings I spotted in downtown Los Angeles on my visit there in fall 2013. (I wonder if it’s still there?)

Thanks for trying … but I’m not sure this passenger announcement worked out the way the crew would have preferred.
