One of the many pieces of art to adorn the public spaces at Calgary International Airport.
Art is everywhere … and it’s not all western/cowboy themed.
There a life-size rock climber overlooking the main public lounge, a huge horse sculpture near the customs exit, aircraft hanging over one of the departure terminal, metallic etchings and carvings amid the floor tiles.
Every time I fly or pick someone up, I try to find something new, a little visual adventure to pass the time.

Today, we revisit a post from last fall, Things you find in alleys.
Since I first snapped a photo of this mural, tucked away in a narrow alley in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood, I notice it’s been altered. Sometime near the holidays, I presume, someone added Christmas trees and decorations to all the windows. And this kitty had has grown some a pair of eyes … right where they shouldn’t be!

Granny here is part of a larger piece of wall art that’s popped up in the last few weeks (maybe months?) in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood.

Finally, a chinook in Calgary! Sweet relief from winter’s grip … but the pools and puddles from the melting snow are all over the place.
The Flickr title for this photo: “S is for Submerged”.
It’s civic election day in Alberta

To my friends across Alberta: Today is voting day for city councils and school boards. Please exercise your democratic franchise … Go out and vote!
This photo was taken outside Calgary city hall during the advance vote last week; today, it is a polling station for a part of Ward 7.

These are the horse sculptures outside Calgary city hall, looking over Olympic Plaza toward The Bow skyscraper and the twin towers of the Suncor Energy Centre.

It’s pleasantly surprising to see Calgary’s deciduous trees retain their red, gold and orange hues for so long this autumn. This is usually a one- or two-week affair … but we’re rolling into Week 3 now, easily. Glorious.
