This non-person is precariously perched over one of the main shopping areas in Munich, Germany. Captured on my visit there in September 2015.

Here’s another giant mural in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal area. This one’s behind Moishe’s steakhouse (if I remember correctly), spotted back in February.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

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.
