A piece of public art in a yet-to-be-redeveloped space near the Sunnyside LRT station in Calgary. This un-retouched photo is one of a series of such images I snapped back in October to test my smartphone camera (iPhone 7) under adverse shooting conditions — in this case, backlighting and shadowing.

This is a profile view of “Wonderland”, a sculpture by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, outside The Bow office tower in downtown Calgary. It’s an interactive piece, as visitors can “enter” the head for a different perspective.

Don’t be alarmed! Things look worse than they are, clearly. This very neat implementation of public art was spotted in London this past fall.

This is some of the public art embedded in the ground at one of the light-rail stations in Phoenix, Arizona — a really neat way to make such project really accessible to the public.

Rock solid. Between a rock and a hard place. Hard as a rock. So many of expressions and clichés are built upon the durability of rocks.
And yet, wandering through the maze that makes up the Lower Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, one can only be struck by how malleable rock truly is.
It was water that carved out the canyon. And with every summer rainstorm, it is water that continues to shape and reshape the place.
The result is visually stunning, of course — sunlight giving life to a wavy, rippling red-rock landscape reaching dozens of metres deep.
