To all those celebrating the lunar new year, I hope you have a fantastic holiday. These festive lanterns are outside a shop in Montreal’s Chinatown.

More snow for Calgary this past weekend! It’s sunny today but if the forecasts are to be believed, there will be more snow by the end of the week …

Morning stillness

Here’s how the Eau Claire area of Calgary looked after the big snowfall just before Christmas.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Calgary got a fresh dump of snow last week, as shown above, and the weather has since gone into extra-deep-freeze territory … so I doubt these chairs on 3 St. S.W. downtown will be put to good use anytime soon!

Nouvelle couche de neige

On this Christmas Eve, we’re headed for a brown (or green) Christmas in Calgary.
Please join me on an imaginary walk through a forest of evergreens covered in a thin layer of fresh, crunchy snow. Take a deep breath of crisp, pine-scented air as you stand under a clear, blue sky punctuated by the low sun at high noon.
Give yourself a Christmas atmosphere as perfect as you want it to be.

Winter makes comeback

Nothing unusual about this scene happening in May, I swear. Captured on my smartphone Saturday morning.
