A day off in Calgary …

Well, more or less. Last week I had to go to Calgary for some business. Nothing special but it had to be done in person. So, I took the day off and left for Alberta around 7am.

No sunshine CPR

Arrived in Calgary, a leaden sky and rain started to come down. Wonderful, only my short-sleeved shirt on my back and nothing else. Thanks, Weather Forecasters! So …

Starry, starry night…

We all know those nights. Full of stars, no moon and dark… So dark that even reading your watch is becoming a problem.

Dark night

Away from civilisation, well, at least a few hundred meters. Not another soul in view. Even your own soul is hard to see. Nights like that can present some surprises…

Close quarters

Landscapes, people, festivities, all have something in common, apart from the photographer. The pictures taken mostly ignore the details.

So, this time I decided to go back to the details that surround us. Just to show that those details are also worthy of a picture.

Immaculate Conception - Cooks Creek

The Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, constructed in stages beginning in 1930 and consecrated in 1952, is situated on Road 212 in the village of Cooks Creek.

I have been a few times to this church, always in daytime. But in the evening, during the golden hour, silver hours and whatnot hour, this church becomes really beautiful. Come in and take a look!

Happy Canada Day!

Ok, a little late, now that Canada Day is over, but I wouldn’t want to serve you last year’s pictures…  Even more, last year I had no opportunity to partake in the festivities.

Canada Day fan

Moving from one apartment to another came first. And once it was done, there was no energy left… So this year, Canada Day was definitely not going to pass me by unnoticed.
