The Cheonggyecheon stream restoration is a wonderful island of tranquility in the middle of Seoul! A great place to take a stroll, read a book or enjoy a bit of nature. One of the things that make Seoul such an interesting place to visit at street level (or in this case, slightly below).

You already know it's the Falkirk Wheel, and it is truly an amazing engineering piece of engineering. It's also a fine tourist attraction. I've been there twice. There are tour boats which take riders on the wheel from the bottom to the top, and then back down again. No sense of motion!
The Falkirk Wheel - Scotland. There are boats visible in the lower trough and the upper trough. Facing the hill, the wheel turns counter-clockwise.

Discovery today was FLOCKS in Rosebud #ALBERTA. It's a licensed art café doubling as a performance palace. A delightful and quirky spot adorned with plenty of vibrant paintings and other art. Why, the proprietors even serenade patrons with their vocal interpretations of jazz standards! #TRAVEL

The Calgary Stampede fireworks are amazing! But they pale in comparison to the natural fireworks display offered by Hawaii's Kilauea eruptions, which are happening every week or so right now. Episode #28 is currently underway. WOW!!

On a walk in YYC this afternoon 5 loud aircraft like the one pictured below flew overhead, going south. They were US Marine V-22 Ospreys, presumably returning after some sort of protection detail involved in the G7 summit. Not sure I appreciated them being in CDA! www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...

LIARS AT A FUNERAL openned @abtheatreprjcts.bsky.social last night and was anything but a solemn occasion! Can funerals bring waring family members together? Heartily suggest you go find out. Oh, and big thanks to Pierson’s Funeral Service for making the lobby experience special!

Sometimes, even in the City, wildlife makes an appearance when you don't expect it! Here are two beavers (Mama and Junior) which I came across in the Elbow River today, right beside Stampede Park in Calgary. Cool!

Was that at the Calgary show? I didn't get tickets, but have been wondering how the concert was. I watched Road Diary recently which was filmed as a runup to this tour. A great film for Springsteen fans!
