FISHEYE: Swan take
On the way up to Dawson City, Yukon, so many creatures crossed our path – bison, moose, foxes black and red, countless hawks. You saw the hunting eagle yesterday, so how about something a bit more delicate for today, swans on the move? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is […]
FISHEYE: To baldly go…
A majestic-yet-timid bald eagle soars higher and higher as it watches over a red fox it had just dropped to its death on a frozen riverbed. Its mate was also lingering, both between Toad and Wood creeks in B.C., so we left them to their handsome business. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature […]
FISHEYE: Light fare
While the delicious Italian flavours of Corso 32 on Jasper are appealing, the light show on the wall was also mesmerizing. There’s a lot to be said for a restaurant that doesn’t blind its patrons in halogen. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of […]
FISHEYE: A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away
EPISODE XXII: Strange Coincidences Daring of the City to help build an AGA that looks so much like Darth Vader. Hopefully George Lucas won’t show up looking for residuals any time soon … Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life […]
FISHEYE: Broken dreams
Abandoned like a dropped turnip in the window of a wedding dress store on 97th Street, this display takes the idea of giving away your hand in marriage a little too severely. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out […]
FISHEYE: Taking away the moments that make up a dull day
This handless clock on the downtown post office is a great example of unintended, beautiful public art. Because it reminds us of time, but doesn’t limit us by it, and we can just appreciate the metal sculpture for its beauty. What does a clock with no hands tell us? To take it easy, for starters. […]
FISHEYE: Egg-cellent question
Why are these pink eggs on sale at Lucky 97 in Chinatown? Was it some sort of Easter thing? Cultural? Sometimes a mystery is more fun than finding out, so we’ll let you decide. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in […]
FISHEYE: Birds and the birds and the bees
Another bird you might be familiar with is the white-breasted nuthatch. Nature’s one-way signs, this little goober and its mate were looking for a nice spot to do things bees also do. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out […]
FISHEYE: Aztec camera
This is city hall’s tall staircase up to council chambers, under one of our glass pyramids. I often fantasize we would take the Egyptian thing all the way in this city of pyramids – statues of Ra and Anubis in public squares, for instance, not to mention interring our dead leaders for thousands of years […]
FISHEYE: Fading memories
In desperate need of a major touch-up, the Plainsman Apartments mural on 108 street north of 107 Avenue is nonetheless one of the iconic pieces of public art in the city. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of […]
