Here’s a view inside the train shed at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, in some photos taken back in September 2015. I quite like how the roof is reflected in the windshield of the train waiting at Track 21, below.

Public art at the Centre Street CTrain station in downtown Calgary: These poor figures are condemned to the fate of perpetually waiting for the next train.

Ah, the purveyor of convenient selfies in the era before smartphones. A technician works on a photo booth at North Hill Centre, Calgary. (Ricky Leong photo)
If you’ve ever wondered what an automated photo booth looks like when the user interface is torn away … this post is for you. (And yes, photo booths still exist!) This happened as I was wandering into the grocery store.

Here’s an image snapped in Amsterdam on my very first trip to Europe, back in September 2012. These beautiful houses are lined up along the Damrak canal, just a stone’s throw from the main train station. And by the way … it’s not camera lens distortion you’re seeing — the floors in those building really do have a slight lean to them.

This neat sign with vintage-looking typography marks the location of the Phoenix Public Market and adjacent café in downtown Phoenix. The exterior space is a parking lot most of the time but turns into a market on Saturday mornings.

Another snapshot from my visit to Prague back in the fall — this one showcasing a pleasing (IMHO!) juxtaposition of modern and historical architecture.

A piece of public art in a yet-to-be-redeveloped space near the Sunnyside LRT station in Calgary. This un-retouched photo is one of a series of such images I snapped back in October to test my smartphone camera (iPhone 7) under adverse shooting conditions — in this case, backlighting and shadowing.
