In-spiring view

From a brief visit to Hamburg almost three years ago … this is the clock tower at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church. I can tell you it’s a long climb to the top — great cardio exercise at the very least, rewarded with nice views if you like that sort of thing.

In something I wrote for work this week, I referenced a 2008 visit to Jasper National Park. Here are a few images from that trip.

Canadian maple leaf flag, London, England

When visiting London, Canada House is truly hard to miss, what with its bevy of Canadian flags on the building’s exterior and its prime location on Trafalgar Square. Snapped this image on my last visit last September … and sharing the photo today on the occasion of Canada’s 150th anniversary. Happy Canada Day.

Looking through a skylight in downtown Edmonton, under a bright afternoon sun. Snapped on a recent visit to Alberta’s capital city.

Spotted this in an Edmonton parking lot a few weeks ago … and I’m still not entirely sure to whom this message might be directed.
