Not only children play in the fountain in the summer; looking through older pictures I found this intrepid canine happily splashing about.

As I travel, I pay a lot of attention to statuary (there's so much!), but it's always special when it manages not only to tell a story, but to give you a little lift, a little laugh. Your samples from the Rogers Center are great! PS...for anyone with a taste for more semi-comic statues, we had a piece here on Gumbo last October: Laughter Set in Stone: Fun With Statues ...

  I have quite a few favorite places in Paris, but I think the Stravinsky Fountain is the only one I've gotten to on every visit. I never get tired of it, or of watching children marvel at it, or of the whole idea of this wonderful whimsical...

I've never set out to document Paris at night, never had a conscious plan to record a particular area or its life. These are just selections from several visits, held together only by the late hour or by something that pleased me. Night doesn't have...

  Congratulations to Lynn Miller for recognizing Rogers Center in Toronto.  The quiz focused on two pieces of art known as "The Audience" in the northeast and northwest corners of the building, executed by Michael Snow in 1989.  Both...

Samantha shares some beautiful views of Vancouver from the Lookout Tower atop the Harbour Centre.

Featuring art of the 20th and 21st centuries, the Centre Pompidou is one of the biggest in Paris. Samantha shows us what's inside the unusual building.

It was amazing and the views were incredible. It made me want to enjoy the same experience at other revolving restaurants. Thanks for the comments and anniversary wishes.

As many times as I've visited Vancouver, I've never been to the top of this tower. Will have to make a point of doing so when I'm next there on a clear day. Vancouver is perhaps the most beautiful city in the world (I know, many places are), but the setting is absolutely magnificent. Sadly, it's been overpopulated and is now one of the most expensive cities in North America. But it still is lovely, as your blog so clearly shows. Thanks, Samantha!

Thanks for all the information Samantha! Amazing views of a beautiful city. I want to get back there someday.

So glad that you and Gene had a good time. Vancouver is a beautiful city but as the good Doctor mentioned it has become overpopulated and expensive. Looks like you had some very nice weather though. Dining in the tower is a great way to enjoy the view. The last time I did that was in the early 80s. Happy belated Anniversary as well.

It's not easy to photograph art or galleries...your photos are fantastic!!

DrFumblefinger enjoys a visit to the Birds of Prey Centre in the small prairie town of Coaldale. The visit provided excellent opportunities to study and photograph birds up close.

The Nelson Mandela Centre for Reconciliation, built as a retreat and meeting place for the former South African president's retirement will soon reopen as a conference center with space for 12 visitors. It will rent for nearly $6000 a night—but...
