This lovely mural is painted outside a music/movie/poster shop in southwest Calgary.

Editing on the fly

A helpful passerby makes this graffiti a little more family-friendly than it otherwise would have been …

Riding over the Bow

People (including me, I suppose) are still going to the Peace Bridge to look at it … but many like this cyclist are using the bridge for its intended purpose.

You are the light

An uplifting thought on the community message board on 10 St. N.W. in Kensington Village.

Ripples in time

Monday was kind of dreary in Calgary … but it wasn’t too wet to go out and snap a photo or two.

Station : Viau

The original rolling stock of the Montreal metro, built by Canadian Vickers and dating back to 1966, still plies the tracks under that city’s streets. Here’s a train of such cars entering Viau station a few weekends ago.
These vehicles will be retired within a few years, when the Montreal Transit Corp. receives the first of a new fleet of new Metro cars, built by Bombardier and Alstom.

Comme des jouets

It’s fascinating how huge pieces of earth-moving equipment can look like Tonka trucks when seen from 100+ metres up in the air. These were parked below the tower at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

Solidly anchored

… because I find them fascinating to photograph for some reason. This one was taken a couple of days ago in Calgary.
