The Wonderland Sculpture, created by acclaimed Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, is a 12-metre tall wire portrait of a young girl’s head. Installed in 2013, this striking artwork is prominently located in front of the Bow building in downtown Calgary. The sculpture’s design, made entirely of bent wire, gives it a sense of lightness and transparency, allowing visitors to view it from multiple angles and even step inside it. The varying perspectives offer a different look and feel, making it a truly immersive experience.

This is the view from the inside of the GMC truck in my previous posti from an abandoned farm east of Innisfail, Alberta.
Another 2016 image that could have been processed a little better the first time round. The air was filled with smoke at the time from farm fields burning in the neighbourhood which gave off a pinky orange cast in the sky but through my heavy handed use of contrast to retrieve the details I lost the original tones during the processing when I first captured it. The colours in this version, however, are much closer to the original raw file which I prefer. Don't ask me why I couldn't see this on my first attempt..*SIGH!*
I was also quite proud of this image after capturing the fast moving longtail boat successfully with simple manual focus. No, I wasn't being clever, I just didn't know how to use the overly complicated Sony auto focusing back then with the technology bearing very little resemblance to Sony's current auto focus features (which are staggering by the way!). In fact, my dependency on manual focus back then was probably the reason why I got into landscape photography to begin with, I was hopeless at capturing moving objects!
Thank you for hobbling by :)

Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
Lately, I've been enjoying burning through my little stash of Fortezo. "Stash", perhaps that's a bit of an overstatement: really, it is just one envelope of 10 sheets, 24x30 cm.
Before I got my hands on it, this envelope had never been opened, it was factory-sealed new-old-stock. The packaging looked like it came off the assembly line only yesterday. To my surprise, however, I found that most of its sheets have some form of irregular splotches here and there, on front and back alike. Absolutely no idea where they came from, I had never seen anything like this ever before.
Nevertheless, it makes for a lovely lith paper :-)

So this is how you swim inward. So this is how you flow outwards. So this is how you pray.
