Western Union Building

There’s no mistaking the civic address of this building on 8 Ave. S.W. in Calgary.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A view toward the iconic Five Roses flour facility, Peel Basin and beyond from the observatory atop Place Ville Marie in Montreal. The viewpoint usually closes around dinner time but it happened to be open late as part of a winter festival on my recent visit to the city.

Therapy

Are people in Las Vegas to get therapy, or will it cause them to need therapy? Another neat sign spotted back in December.

The perfect sign for a store that sells honey and products made from beeswax.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The first of a series of images captured recently with my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8, affectionately known as the Nifty Fifty. This is a neon sign hanging in the window of an office on Kensington Road N.W. in Calgary.
