I wake up to your sunset

Yup, another photo title modelled after song lyrics. You can see downtown Calgary off in the distance behind all the airport infrastructure.

To eliminate all manner of glare, I was holding up my sweater in one hand to try and block out some interior lights while taking the photo with the other hand. I’m sure I looked really goofy to the people around me but at least the picture turned out.

Calgary never ceases to amaze with its sunsets. This specimen was captured Friday night.

Looking out the window at the very end of Terminal C at Portland International Airport, when I was passing through there a few weeks ago.

Fading light

As the sun dipped below the horizon on this day a few weekends ago, there was still enough natural light to capture this scene from a viewpoint at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona.

Golden hour, dead of winter

So if you didn’t already know, I’m a real sucker for sunset shots … and Calgary seems particularly pretty at that hour. Here’s the downtown skyline as seen from my employer’s temporary office space, just a short drive from our usual workplace. Snapped at the beginning of January.

From day to night

We are so lucky in Calgary to get such beautiful sunsets — and I never tire of capturing them. Here’s another one for you, snapped on Jan. 1.

Au fil de la journée

There’s something about aerial telephone/utility lines I find fascinating … especially when they intersect in dimming light as seen here. Caught this image while wandering through Montreal’s Griffintown district last week.
