Calgary spent much of last week blanketed by smoke from nearby forest fires. It made for a few dreary scenes, such as the one above.

A lovely spot overlooking the City of Portland. This image was snapped back in the spring. Perhaps I’ll venture inside next time …

Holding out against the tide

With an entire neighbourhood disappearing around it, this house near the Calgary Stampede grounds has somehow withstood the changes. At last report, it was to be moved to make way for a condo project. When I last visited it at the end of April, it was already it pretty rough shape.

Métropole dorée

One more skyline photo to round out this week’s series of posts featuring city views. This is of Montreal in the autumn, captured on my phone from the Olympic Stadium tower back in 2011.

Verdant

Fox Hollow golf course in the foreground, Midfield trailer park above it and the City of Calgary’s ever-changing skyline behind it all. Snapped this image last week.

Carpet of petals

A sidewalk in Northeast Portland is beautifully camouflaged by fallen petals. (And I can say it also smelled fantastic!)

Sparkling prairie jewel

Here’s a view captured a few nights ago from one of my favourite lookouts in Calgary: the top of McHugh Bluff.

Clouds not nearly as mean as you ever seen

You can return to a place over and over, gazing out upon a familiar skyline framed by a familiar landscape … but capture it under a partly cloudy sky and you’ve got a scene you will likely never see again.
This is San Francisco, with lovely clouds courtesy Mother Nature, seen from Torpedo Wharf on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in November.

Sole cluster

It seems wherever I’ve gone, I end up coming across a pair of shoes (or more) flung over utility wires. This bunch of shoes was spotted over an alley in The Mission in San Francisco.
