Champ-de-Mars métro station in Montreal was recently identified as one of most beautiful subway stations in the world. Surely, the wonderful panes of stained glass has something to do with it.

I finally got switched over the Flickr’s new “justified” view for my contacts. My first impression is very positive. In fact, I like it very much. Nicely done!

How easy it is to forget that our modern, interconnected world is ultimately held together with long strands of copper and glass fibre. We often don’t think about how important these infrastructures are until they are damaged or otherwise put out of commission.
Above, a chaotic street scene in the Mission in San Francisco. Below, less cluttered views of the same idea in Montreal, Halifax and Calgary.

I doubt anyone can visit New York without taking a shot that looks a little like this one. And while every picture is similar, none will ever be quite the same. So here’s my contribution to the virtual gallery of images dedicated to the Brooklyn Bridge. And below are a few more.

… until this Santiago Calatrava creation is accessible to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
I might not have liked how this bridge came to be and how much the public purse coughed up for it — and I’m unsure if I will ever understand accept how that all happened.
That said, the bridge is there, so we might as well enjoy it for what it is.
This picture was taken last month, not long after the temporary supporting bridge was removed and workers began putting together the finishing touches on the structure.

From back in January February. Happily, there won’t be too many more of these until next year.

An unintentional shot, taken with the Hipstamatic app for iPhone, as I was whiling away the hours during a layover at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport about a year ago.
It turned out to be an interesting abstract image, in my humble opinion. 🙂
