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.

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? . . .

HSoS everyone!

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!

This hands-free hanging magnifier belonged to my paternal grandparents. Van Waffle (Pappy) might have used it for looking at his stamp collection or Fern (Mimi) might have used it to read books and the newspaper. I felt closer to Pappy than my other three grandparents. He had been a self-made, successful business owner and a hard man by many accounts. I never saw that side of him. The year I was born he suffered a heart attack and retired. I guess it softened him. He had time for me. He remained active and did not have another heart attack until 20 years later when he died peacefully in his sleep, age 82. I've kept this magnifier since Mimi moved out of their house into a nursing home 30 years ago, knowing it would become useful someday. So far I have only used it two or three times to fix difficult knitting errors. Pappy would be puzzled to find me using it in fibrecraft, but he shared my enjoyment of gardening and storytelling.
