David Maisel
Another art photographer, who caught my eye: David Maisel. The bright green picture on the top must be some sort of tailing pond from a mining operation in Nevada.
The other picture is from his series "Oblivion" a bird's eye shot of Los Angeles' communities and its infamous freeway system.

Calgary History Hotspot - Inglewood
One of my favourite places in Calgary is Inglewood. It's located at the junction of the Bow River and the Elbow River. Lots of old character building, that have witnessed pretty much all of Calgary's history - like the Restaurant "Rouge" shown above.
The Calgary Ghost Tour also leads through Inglewood. I haven't done it myself, but some friends have and they enjoyed it a lot. If you look closely through the window reflections, you might be able to see a ghost enjoying an afternoon drink :)

The Deane House - a Restaurant - in the summer they grow their own vegetables in the garden - sweet!
One of the oldest buildings in Calgary - the Hunting Cabin right next to the Deane House.
Did you know that New Street is the oldest street in Calgary? Supposedly the oldest street was closer to the river, but got swept away in a flood. So they built a new street to replace the one gone. Now New Street is Calgary's oldest street. It's charming!
