“There's a girl right next to you; And she's just waiting for something to do” ~ Stephen Stills
A daytime view of the Calgary, Alberta skyline from the middle of the Centre Street bridge. In the foreground is a portal topped by a cast lion. Behind it, the city’s eponymous tower stands in the shadow of surrounding metal and glass skyscrapers.

#WeekVforVowels
E14 Evening 🍳📺
View from the steps of a Tesco Express in Millwall overlooking a quiet 4-way intersection at dusk. Left: a three-level ivory painted brick building with a restaurant on its main floor; its red backlit signage spelling ‘Aniseed’. The six apartment windows above it are dark. Right: Northeast corner of a sprawling residential development marked by its angular multi-storied yellow brick buildings. Two vertical strips of window glow yellow (stairwells) while others are dim. The sky is a uniform blue. No humans or animals populate the frame.

Shoots of a red-stemmed plant with bright green foliage stand several inches tall in the middle of a paved lot. Large chunks of the asphalt it burst through are arrayed around it.

#WeekUforUnloved

A dismembered unclothed mannequin lies alone in an empty suburban retail space of the former Hudsons Bay Company. On the faux brick wall is stencilled, “Stop saying I WISH. Start saying I WILL.” The photo is in full colour but the predominant tone is sepia.

Daytime exterior of a floral shop with an array of plants and flowers (hydrangeas, sunflowers, lilies, ivy, eucalyptus) spilling on to the walk. The neon sign against the golden glowing window says ‘Dovers’ but camera POV shows ‘Lovers’

East Village evening
~~
Foreground: a dead tall pine stands in its pink glory in the evening light. The library glows in lemon yellow at right. Four white rays of a street light streak against a close skyline of lit windows in Calgary’s East Village. The sky is a uniform deep grey.

Shot from within an empty outdoor market at gloaming time. The sky’s a mottled grey/blue. The brick buildings are made golden by strings of light laced across them. On the right, windows glow yellow from the interior.

Limehouse Basin takes on a matcha hue (duckweed?)
~~
A late afternoon shot of a variety of canal boats moored in London’s Limehouse Basin with multi-storey taupe-coloured apartments in the background. The sky is clear blue with a single strip of faint cloud. The surface of the water looks like a low pile carpet in 1970s pea green

🐦 Windows can be a bird’s worst enemy.
Migration time is especially tough. Tips on bird proofing: www.canada.ca/en/environme... In a pinch, artful embellishments with a bar of soft soap can break up those deadly illusions. Important: example is a work in progress
