Medicine Lake in Jasper National Park, AB, Canada.
Medicine Lake is a geologic anomaly in the sense that it is not actually a lake but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground. (Wikipedia)

I was shooting another building downtown, looked across the street, and saw the lamp post seemingly framing this pinkish highrise.
I appreciate the name suggestions, but Ted tells me the name of this building is the same as the address: 1500 Alberni.

Smile on Saturday.
Optical Instruments.
Magnifying glass.
Mine helps me so much reading some small print.
Posted for Smile on Saturday theme; "Optical Instruments". HSoS!
I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, and I immediately thought of a "magnifying glass" when I saw this week's challenge.
As you can see, Sherlocks housekeeper had his favorite tea ready when he arrived home. When Sherlock came through the front door - he removed his hat, laid down his 10-power silver and chrome magnifying glass, and headed straight for the teapot atop his desk. As he relaxed for the evening, he puffed on his pipe and pondered over the next mysterious case that he had to solve - would he need Dr. Watsons help to solve it? . . .
A single seed. I find it amazing to be able to see the detail of the seed as the light interacts with the organic material!
… if you look closely, that is!

Sometimes it's hard to tell if you are on the outside looking in or on the inside looking out.

Bonnefantenmuseum
Optical Glade - Stanley Donwood
The English artist Stanley Donwood has transformed the Bonnefantenmuseum's striking Cupola into a remarkable installation. In the space of four weeks, Donwood has created the staggering black-and-white wall painting Optical Glade on the inside of the round tower.
In collaboration with Radiohead's frontman Thom Yorke, Donwood has also added a sound composition to the 'optimal experience of the mysterious and almost sacred space'. This unique installation will be on permanent display in the museum for at least two years.
