We walked over to the Peace Bridge after dinner in Kensington so that I could photograph it at night. It is a popular spot, even on a cool Sunday evening. This bridge over the Bow river is to the east of the pedestrian bridge shown in the 18 October post.

Six of us drove up to Banff from Calgary for lunch (bison burgers!!!) and a trip up the Banff gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain. It was a great trip, and not too cold. The peak is at 7,486’ and there is a wooden raised walkway to an adjacent peak that we took advantage of. Fantastic views! It was also very busy given the very nice weather.

We walked into downtown Calgary on a rather nice crisp fall morning. This is a pedestrian bridge over the Bow river.

We have been busy cleaning out the apartment of an elderly relative. It has been a lot of work.

We are getting a new cafe in our neighborhood, just a few blocks from the house. This is one of a small chain of cafes, and Lily really likes them, so this is a plus for us.
I am working on a mosaic version of either this shot or maybe just one of the bug. We will see if it works.

Lily brought home a full ginger plant from the farmers' market.

From the same photo walk. The mosaic version of this also turned out quite nice.

I went on a photo excursion to downtown Los Angeles last night, and captured this image of the fountain in Grand Park.
Note the white squares in the upper right. When I first saw these, I thought it was a message from the Trisolarians (see The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu).

I walked down to the end of the Hermosa pier and back late Friday afternoon. I took this portrait of a rather colorful beach cottage along the way. It is on 10th Street, very close to the Hermosa Strand and the beach.
Notice the brush hanging next to the steps to allow one to easily brush off beach sand before entering the house. I also like the very rusty thermometer hanging above the brush on the post. It does not look like it is working anymore. I wonder why that is still there?
Yes, the beach is off to the right.
A friend wanted to walk Lincoln Boulevard in Venice and Santa Monica this morning in search of murals for his art project. I went along looking for cityscapes for my mosaic project. Here are three murals that I found interesting along the way.

Bottom: Side of "Bowl Kitchen", 2127 Lincoln, Santa Monica (looks like a good place to eat...)
