I take pictures of flowers from time to time on my photowalks. A whole pile of them are pretty but they sure aren’t real.

A bit of time travel today, back to Calgary Expo in April. The Lego table was always crowded with people of all ages leaning in to see the marvellous work done by the people who constructed intricate scenes, including ones depicted here.

This is a mural of a historical Calgary Stampede at … the Victoria Park/Stampede LRT station in Calgary. We learned a few days ago that the self-style Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth will go on, in the face of a natural disaster of epic proportions.
One week to go before the whole things gets underway. For many, I’m sure it will be a welcome distraction for the unpleasantness in the news.

Looking north from the Westminster Bridge in London, with the London Eye on the right. This was taken moments after riding the Eye last October. If the weather’s right, this attraction offer a great view.

A follow-up to yesterday’s photo: This is at 66 St. Subway station in New York. Lots of beautiful ceramic art adorn the station walls — not just at that station but throughout all the underground parts of the network.

This is one of the more interesting artifacts at the British Museum in London, to my mind.
Until I saw this last year, it wasn’t obvious to me what kind of role Arabic played in Chinese art centuries ago.
