Awestruck

A young kid enjoys a view of the Transamerica Pyramid from the top of the Coit Tower in San Francisco, almost two years ago.

Motorheads

This is street art put up on some boarded-up windows in Curtis Block, which stood on Macleod Tr. across from the Stampede grounds in Calgary. It’s something you will never see again: The building was demolished in July 2008.

Double vision

Another oldie … this one from May 2010 while on my way to Vancouver by car.
Here, I was fooling around with my pocket camera while stopped on the highway at Golden, B.C. I was waiting my turn along a stretch of alternating one-way traffic because of road construction.

The core at night

The observation deck of the Calgary Tower affords a lovely view of town in good weather, as much at night as during the day. Here, we’re looking north, up Centre St.
On the right is the Bow building, still under construction but now the tallest office tower in Canada outside of Toronto.
On the left is the West Tower of the Suncor Energy Centre (formerly the Petro-Canada Centre) which holds No. 2 status for skyscraper height in Calgary.

The sky never ends

The Time-Warner Center towers over Columbus Circle in New York as it blends into a pleasant, summer sky in August 2011.
