Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The latest variant of a shot I love to take. These are the arches in the arcade at the Hudson’s Bay department store in downtown Calgary, snapped last week and filtered by Instagram.

Some time to reflect … thanks to this piece of public art at 150 9 Ave. S.W. in downtown Calgary. In the mirror is the Calgary Tower, while Brookfield Place looms over the Hudson’s Bay building in the background.

The main entry hall/atrium at Quebec’s central library in Montreal, the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec. A very busy building on this rainy Sunday afternoon about a month ago.

A sunset-tinged sky is reflected in the windows of office towers in downtown Montreal, seen last month from the edge of Mount Royal Park near the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Monument.

This home in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood sure has a way of standing out. Snapped earlier this week.

There is definitely nothing bland about Montreal’s cityscape. This is a view snapped a few days ago of some buildings near Bleury and President-Kennedy streets.

Paris, France

The word “Paris” typically evokes images of wide boulevards lined with historic stone buildings. Shatter that stereotype by turning your gaze to the city’s business district, La Défense. There, you’ll find a lovely (and lively) sandbox for modern architecture and design. Here are a few images of the neighbourhood from my visit to the French capital in September 2012.
