This is an awesome chalk conception of Calgary, spotted in Hillhurst a couple of weekends ago.

Made a quick stop at the new Poppy Plaza in Calgary not long ago … I should definitely make plans to come back and shoot here after dark soon.

Raindrops keep falling on my head

Well, more like the car’s windshield … but you get the idea.
This is from one of our frequent rainfalls earlier this summer.

Demolished

A follow-up to a post months ago called “Doomed”.

And this weekend, it looks as if new utility lines are going in.
Sign of progress, I presume.
