Speaking of Europe (see previous post), there’s something about this song – and not just the fact that it’s set in Paris – that leads my mind’s eye through the narrow streets, vivid street vendors, bakery smells and picturesque boutiques of Europe. Listen in and share your thoughts.
Somewhere in East Germany, this small town was a popular weekend destination for my fiancée and her school friends, where the mall was always open, the ice-cream always cheap and the bus ride short. It was a pleasure to step back and re-visit these old haunts with her, and to marvel at the stark sameness …
Despite an emergency surgery last week, I packed my bags for the first famous road trip of the summer this past weekend, and headed to my to-be In-Laws property for sun, relaxation, food and lots of laughter. As I’ve always said, living, working and playing in downtown Calgary has many benefits, but once in a …
I took this photograph of the Galeries Lafayette in Paris’ Opera District back in 2009, my first time in France.

Sometimes I wish we lived in …
I was perusing through Jak & Jil yesterday and stumbled upon the first photo above, a back-shot of a young girl admiring a sculpture at Muse Rodin in Paris. I instantly was taken back to the very similar shot I took of another young girl admiring the same sculpture while I was in Paris last …
No this isn’t Rome, Venice, Florence, or any part of Italy in fact. Its the gorgeous city of Dresden, in East Germany – a city that stole our hearts and our imagination. I was looking through old photos and re-organizing some of my uploads, and I stumbled upon this gem. Check out the full post …
Just in case you weren’t aware, the City of Calgary has been in a state of deep freeze, with temperatures dropping to the -50°C range (with wind chill). So of course, we took this opportunity to spend a weekend away in the mountains at the Canmore property with a few of our closest couple-friends. Our …
Boots: TOPMAN, Pants, Hat, Shirt & Scarf: ZARA, Blazer: H&M Behold my completely high-street look, which ironically got more compliments then any of my designer duds while we in Europe a few months ago. Its all in the delivery folks. On a side-note, I loved the fall weather that Europe offered me; layers, but not …
