Calgary never ceases to amaze with its sunsets. This specimen was captured Friday night.

This is the view from one of the many breathtaking viewpoints along Hermit Road in Grand Canyon National Park, at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona. Our party had been dodging clouds on and off, all afternoon, a couple of Fridays ago and it was fortunate they had moved along far enough by day’s end to allow for some decent photography.

A neat view of Stockholm’s central island from across the river in Sodermalm. Captured this on my smartphone during my trip there last August.

This is a classic Montreal viewpoint. I’d never been as an adult — and drawing on my (admittedly dusty) recollections from my youth, it’s quite possible I’d never seen Montreal from here at all until now.

This is — or more to the point, was — 101 to 129 19 St. N.W. When I snapped the top photo back in February 2013, I guessed the site would be overtaken by a condominium development. The bottom photo shows how things look now.

This is the Grand Place in Brussels, captured during my trip through the city last year.
The photo was taken pretty much first thing in the morning … so not too many tourists and lots of vans making deliveries to local businesses.
Panoramic view of Paris

The Montparnasse Tower might not the the prettiest thing on the Parisian skyline … but at least when your at the top of it, you don’t see it!
In this view, we’re looking at the Eiffel Tower with the modern skyscrapers of La Défense in the background.

This is the former Canadian Pacific roundhouse in Vancouver’s Yaletown district, captured with a sweep of my iPhone’s camera in “panorama” mode.
It was really interesting to try this, because the roundhouse is built in the shape of an arc … so if you’re standing at the centrepoint of the arc and you swivel to capture the panorama, the main subject doesn’t look very distorted at all, while everything else does.
