Return to the Fish Shack, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

We’re back to the exterior of Rodney’s in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood for another recent snapshot of their colourful secondary entrances. Last time, it was a side door along 4th Street S.W. This time, it’s a door leading the back alley.

Radial light pattern, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The light from nearby traffic signals creates a cool visual effect as it reflects from the shutters of a store on Kensington Road N.W. in Calgary.

Spanning the eras, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Calgary’s former Fire Station No. 1, foreground left, and the North-West Travellers Building, foreground right, are dwarfed by their much bigger neighbours The Bow and Telus Sky, as seen a few weeks ago.

Eight Seconds to Glory, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A rodeo event that’s definitely set in stone! The sculpture called Eight Seconds to Glory by Shane R.L. Sutherland, along 3rd Street S.W. in downtown Calgary, depicts a bull rider hanging onto his animal. (It looks as if he’ll lose his cowboy hat, however.)
