Dresden’s cathedral was wrecked during the Second World War and remained a pile of ruin for decades. It re-opened to the public in 2005 after years of painstaking restoration. Here’s the scene outside the landmark in September 2016, its adjacent public square buzzing with activity.

Seen about a year ago: Some of the majestic columns in a former royal palace building at Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, Germany, near Berlin. The structure is now part of the campus of the University of Potsdam.

One of the more fascinating things for me at the recently wrapped Calgary Stampede was to hang out at the historical exhibits in the Western Oasis at the BMO Centre. Tucked away in the far corner of the exhibition hall was a display of historical photos and old maps, including this one showing Rouleauville, which we know today as Calgary’s Mission neighbourhood.

This derelict distillation column is one of the very few visual reminders of a long-gone Firestone tire plant, which occupied an industrial site adjacent to the present-day Barlow/Max Bell CTrain station in Calgary.

A fire tore through this bed and breakfast on 10A Street N.W. in Calgary back in April. Since then, a chronicle of its life spanning more than a century has appeared on the plywood covering its front windows. Thanks for the memories, indeed.
