Mind's eye

Another snapshot from my visit to Prague back in the fall — this one showcasing a pleasing (IMHO!) juxtaposition of modern and historical architecture.

Spine

The west tower of Eighth Avenue Place might have the prettiest emergency exit stairwell in all of downtown Calgary! Snapped this image last week.

Suspension bridge in Frankfurt, Germany

This is one of the bridges across the Main River in Frankfurt, Germany. Captured this as I passed thru there in September 2015.

Three-sided portals

Staring up at this building on Oxford Street in London back in September, I found the window design particularly pleasing for some reason.

King's Cross, redux

I love this structure at King’s Cross station in London. There’s something soothing about the curvy lattice … although I couldn’t tell you why, exactly.

Fred and Ginger

This lovely complex next to the Vltava River in Prague, designed by Frank Gehry, is named the Dancing House — also known as Fred and Ginger.

Mirror universe in Prague

Mirror universe

This glass façade in Prague seemed out of place to me. At least it’s as stylish as circumstances will allow — and the glass lets you see a reflection of what the space once probably looked like.

Stately arches

This is a lovely detour off the Georgenbau city gate on the way to the Neumarkt square. Not exactly off the beaten path, but a lot less crowded and a bit more visually interesting. Snapped this view on a visit back in September.

Arc over water

There isn’t a big-name architect attached to Calgary’s George C. King Bridge over the Bow River at St. Patrick’s Island but it’s beautiful all the same.

Crisis-cross crossing

I might be going out on a limb here … but wide-angle lenses and Calgary’s Peace Bridge are a match made in heaven.
