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.

There’s a lot of serious art in modern Europe commemorating very serious events in its history. Once in a while, however, you come across something like this statue along the Danube River in Budapest: It’s just plain whimsical, celebrating the joys of everyday living.
Happy Friday.

Here’s one view of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. Little would you know from this perspective but she was being absolutely swarmed with visitors at the time.

One of the many pieces of art to adorn the public spaces at Calgary International Airport.
Art is everywhere … and it’s not all western/cowboy themed.
There a life-size rock climber overlooking the main public lounge, a huge horse sculpture near the customs exit, aircraft hanging over one of the departure terminal, metallic etchings and carvings amid the floor tiles.
Every time I fly or pick someone up, I try to find something new, a little visual adventure to pass the time.
