Red streak

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. 🙂

Au marché par un bel après-midi

Marché Bonsecours in Old Montreal, this past fall.
It was very pleasant weather for mid-November. The leaves were still turning (as you can see) and there hadn’t been too much snow, if any, by the time I went on this pre-Christmas visit to my birth-city.
The stately marché is currently home to merchants who sell such things as high-end souvenirs, artisanal goods, designer clothes and jewelry. There are also a public spaces for exhibits and concerts, plus a medieval-themed restaurant on the ground floor.

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.
