Brandenburg Gate

Even well into the evening, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin continues to attract a crowd. (As observed on my visit there in September, anyway!)

National Gallery

The National Gallery in London was about to wind down its day on this Friday night back in September but Trafalgar Square would continue to bustle for hours to come.

Tillikum Crossing

This striking structure is part of Tillikum Crossing, the newest bridge across the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Opened to traffic in fall 2015, it’s reserved for use by MAX light rail Orange Line trains, Portland Streetcars, cyclists and pedestrians. It is the first bridge of this sort in the United States, according to TriMet.

All dressed up

Passing through San Francisco in a series of long layovers last month, I came upon the Ferry Building, all decked out in lights, presumably to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition.

Walk and talk

Just another evening on the Peace Bridge in Calgary. It’s definitely a popular place to be: It was around 10 p.m. that day and I had to wait several minutes for the bridge to clear sufficiently for a decent photo.

Pointillé

Cool little lights under the marquee of the Imperial Theatre in Montreal. Snapped this when I was visiting late last year.

A festive mood hangs over Boul. Saint-Laurent in Montreal in this image from about two weeks ago.

Under our wing

That’s the edge of Calgary out the window on my flight home last week.

Coloré

The Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art and its skyscraper neighbour, Complexe Desjardins, are looking appropriately festive these days.
