It’s still seems very unusual to see modern buildings with windows that open, as with the Bow office tower in Calgary. I’m glad designers and building owners are going back to this — when the exterior air conditions are right, nothing beats an open window.

Another view of one of the newest office towers in Calgary. The canopy at right is from the 6th Street CTrain station, while the building in the reflection is the Calgary Courts Centre. Snapped on the weekend.

Crews continue putting the finishing touches on the new home for the Kensington Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Calgary. In the photo above, the old legion hall is the low, brown building in the background on the right side of the frame. These pictures were snapped a few days ago.

Here’s an image snapped in Amsterdam on my very first trip to Europe, back in September 2012. These beautiful houses are lined up along the Damrak canal, just a stone’s throw from the main train station. And by the way … it’s not camera lens distortion you’re seeing — the floors in those building really do have a slight lean to them.
