Time for coffee

The logic is inescapable at this Calgary coffee shop.

P.S.: As you can see from the snow, the last image is several months old. The sign has since been corrected with the proper spelling of Louise.

Give this guy a hand!

Give him a hand!

Here are some of my favourite photos from the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this weekend.
The photo above is No. 1 on my list: The costume/bag was cool itself … and then the kid wearing it unexpectedly decides he needs to rearrange his something hanging from his neck just as I’m shooting the image. The result is priceless. I walked up to the guy afterward, showed him the photo and he giggled for a good 15 seconds.
More Expo photos here!

Fast forward

Screwed in tight

Cower, fools!

Signals

Another one for my visual collection of telephone poles. Snapped and processed this with my phone a few days ago.

Moment on the Bow

Caught this picture with my phone as I was wandering along the Bow River in Calgary last summer.

Peace and love

This definitely qualifies as a serene window display, spotted in Calgary last month.

From day to night

We are so lucky in Calgary to get such beautiful sunsets — and I never tire of capturing them. Here’s another one for you, snapped on Jan. 1.

It's still December and yet …

It’s still December and yet …

Wandering through a grocery store Sunday night, I come across this display of anticipation (or perhaps ambition). C’mon guys, we haven’t even been through New Year’s yet!
