Making time

This is one of the more original time pieces I’ve ever come across: a video clock at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Fun and functional.

Scene from another era

This is one of the old-style works of art on the outside walls of a surplus store in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood.

Colour scheme

It appears as if this flower knew the right place to bloom, helping to create this funky colour-appropriate juxtaposition. Seen in Calgary a few days ago.

Panda dressed up … but nowhere to go

Now that’s a well-dressed panda. Spotted in Portland, Oregon, back in the spring.

Rooftop commuting

A wonderful piece of public art on the roof of River City Bicycle in Portland, Oregon. Snapped this photo back in the spring.

Visual restoration

Several months ago, I told you about an awesome mural in Calgary’s Kensington defaced by taggers. It suffered more damage since then but, subsequently, has received some tender loving care. What you see here is primer applied over some tagged section, made ready for the artist to re-create his masterpiece.

Watercolour coming alive

After the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners left their longtime home on 10 St. N.W. in Calgary, a temporary wall went up around it … and soon after, the art began to appear.

Art in progress
