A Face From the Past?

Humans are great when it comes to superimposing external patterns on random structures. To me these holes in the rocks at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta looked like a face, even down to the teeth.

Dead trees at Fish Creek

There are a lot of fallen trees at Fish Creek Provincial Park in Calgary, making an interesting contrast with those still living.

Life Behind Bar

Recently while in Harbourfront I noticed this man sitting, and the placement of his head caught my eye.

Dinosaur Provincial Park

For the second day in the row, two smartphone images (both using the Hipstamatic app), with the promise of film images to come once I get home. Today it was a trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. The Badlands are amazing!


Not About the Image

It was an intense week at work here in Calgary, to put it mildly. Since I am staying over and working again here next week, my original plan this morning was to go to downtown Calgary and do some street / architecture photography. At the last minute I changed my mind and went for a return visit to Fish Creek Provincial Park, and that was the right decision: a beautiful morning in a quiet park, the only sounds being the birds and the flowing water. Yes I took some photos (Hipstamatic here, film to follow when I get back home) but that didn’t seem to be the point this morning. Relaxing and decompressing was.
