One of the downtown Metro Rail stations in Los Angeles has figurines strung from the ceiling, as if they were sky-diving. Neat effect … once you’ve noticed them, that is!

Neon tree

This is one of the metallic wind-breaking “trees” on Stephen Avenue in Calgary.
And it’s actually a neon colour lit in LED … but why sweat the small stuff when it looks so neat at night?

Eyes in the back of his head

Today, we revisit a post from last fall, Things you find in alleys.
Since I first snapped a photo of this mural, tucked away in a narrow alley in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood, I notice it’s been altered. Sometime near the holidays, I presume, someone added Christmas trees and decorations to all the windows. And this kitty had has grown some a pair of eyes … right where they shouldn’t be!
