This Yahoo sign in the heart of Stampede Park is one of many installed around Calgary to promote and celebrate the Stampede. Behind it is a portion of the sculpture On the Banks of the Bow and the Scotiabank Saddledome arena.

Calgary Stampede, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

To capture the image of fireworks, above, at the Calgary Stampede Sunday night, I got a little bit of help from a folded business card to help prop up my camera, below.

I’ll let this electronic sign do the talking! It was set up for Canada Day 2018 on the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary. The area around this Bow River crossing is used as a launch site for the annual fireworks display capping off a day of celebrations. The final few seconds of last year’s pyrotechnic show are shown below.

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.
