Late Wednesday afternoon, I went on a wander with the sole aim of getting lost in Venice, which is the best advice I can give anyone who visits: get yourself as far away from San Marco, the Strada Nova by the train station, and the Rialto Bridge and just wander. The light and delight will overtake you when you do, I promise.

From a sign in Reader Rock Garden:
William R. Reader, Calgary's influential Parks Superintendent from 1913 to 1942, laid out this Arts and Crafts-style alpine rockery, which he maintained for decades. Built into a steep hillside near the Union, Chinese, and Burnsland Cemeteries, its rock paths, steps, and walls formed numerous planting beds. They tested and showcased the possibilities of gardening in Calgary, challenging assumptions that the southern Alberta climate was too hostile for agriculture and horticulture. Admired for its beauty and botanical diversity, this garden has long been a source of inspiration for professional and amateur gardeners.
Happy Bench Monday!

«It was - it is - there comes a column» (Norwegian: Det var - det er - det kommer en søyle). One of three parts of a textile installation made by the artist Gitte Dæhlin (1956 - 2012) at the University Library in Tromsø, Norway. Four persons (one is hidden behind the column) represented by 4 pairs of legs coming out of the column. They represent 4 different cultural anchorings, each one reading their own paper. They are faceless, or the faces are hidden in the centre of the column, giving the perception that the reading encapsulates each and one of them in their own world.
