Looking out for you

Here’s another oldie from Nova Scotia, taken at Peggy’s Cove in 2004. Of course, this place barely changes at all!

Olympic emptiness

When I was last in Montreal this April, I had the good fortune to take a guided tour of the Olympic Stadium.
My last previous visit there was for the very last home game of the Montreal Expos.
While I felt a bit of nostalgia when we were escorted into the main stadium, standing on the sidelines overlooking the main playing and exhibition surface, I was also saddened by how few events now use the “Big O” nowadays.
It’s a wasted opportunity for the stadium to stand empty as often as it is, devoid of most professional sports and trade shows.

Sing, sing, sing

Many of the walls along the streets and alleys of San Francisco’s Mission district are adorned with awesome pieces of art. If you do nothing else in the neighbourhood, take a couple of hours to meander and explore for these nuggets sprinkled all through. There are even walking tours specifically made for seeing these pieces of street art. It’s truly a feast for the eyes.

History lesson Hunting the tiger War machine

See more from my trip to the San Francisco Bay area, back in March 2010.
Need to get back there soon!

Watching

I reached deep into the vault for this one … shot near Louisbourg, N.S., four years ago. Was totally *not* expecting to see a bald eagle on the beach.
