The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles is an architectural marvel. Thank you, Frank Gehry.

Shopping

Playing with HDR inside Toronto’s shopping mecca, the Eaton Centre, when I was passing through back in April.

Paris moderne

Towers of glass, steel and concrete are not the first things that come to mind when you say the word Paris.
And yet, tucked away in La Défense, is a pocket of futurism surrounded by a sea of history.

Vers St. Boniface

This beautiful pedestrian bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, links the Forks area just off Union Station with the city’s traditionally francophone area, St. Boniface.
(The photo above was captured with an SLR; the bottom one was snapped with my iPhone.)

St. James United Church

St. James United Church in downtown Montreal. It’s a lovely building whose facade, until recently, was shrouded by stores.

Winding outdoor staircases in Montréal

If you find yourself wandering some of the neighbourhoods in the central parts of Montreal, you’ll find many homes with winding outdoor stairs. This is one of the more colourful examples I’ve come across.

Tall and slender: The Flatiron Building in New York

Recently re-processed this photo, taken about two years ago in New York, to test a relatively new HDR feature within Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software. It certainly works in a pinch … but there are far better HDR software options out there.
At least the building looks nice. We can’t go wrong there 🙂
