SAIT building


I was a little early getting to a meeting-type-thing at SAIT in Calgary, so I thought I would stretch my legs a bit and get some air before heading inside for the next several hours. I found this really neat building, and grabbed a quick picture of it. I think it's fun, but it doesn't annoy me by wasting precious space on the ground.

Tiny Passage

The picture isn't straight. I'm not up to fixing it right now. Let's move on.

This small doorway to a small, narrow, tall, twisty stairway is in a stunningly beautiful church in La Romieu, France. The church was built before Europe knew there was a "new world". Walking on stones laid so long ago was an amazing experience.

New 30 day

Life and my computer have gone haywire, so I am once again behind on the "daily" aspect of this blog!

I'm going to try a new 30 day photo challenge. I will not post them all, because some just won't be that interesting (or good!) but I like this particular one. Day one: pretty pattern. I wanted to avoid what was (for me) the obvious and choosing a fabric for it's pattern. So on my day off, with the weather being cooperative and moderate, the camera and I went for a long walk.


There's actually two patterns here. One is in each individual pane of glass, and the second is the cross itself, formed of different panes that the surrounding ones. I love how simple and understated this is. The designer clearly didn't feel the need for this cross to scream out it's presence, but it's still easily seen and obvious. Two, very pretty, patterns.
