There are many things in life that can grab your attention. Like the ringing of C Major chords in a casino, promising a world of fun and enjoyment, all the while sucking your cash into the machine that is Las Vegas. Or giant things, since the city is built like a carnival.

This 5,500 room monstrosity cannot really be sized appropriately unless it can be personalized in some way. So, how about the walk from the elevator lobby to my room? The following are 4 pictures I took, walking from the main elevator atrium on the floor my room was located. Follow along by looking at each picture's center, to where I walked and snapped the next photo, 4 times. How many football fields long would this be?

You can see the end of the hallway marked by a tiny little red EXIT sign. Now THAT is GIANT!

How about giant bugs, like this one, on the windshield. Now THAT should grab some attention. Hello, bug!

Winnipeg International Airport

Ah, yes, the prairies -- again. What plans would be complete without a trip to the wonderful city of Winnipeg? A city full of unexpected surprises, like 24 degrees Celcius and sun in April? I had the great pleasure of experiencing these wonders and more.

As if snow had simply disappeared last week while summer set in, the weather here is sunny and warm. Beautiful sunsets, warm winds and dust. Not exactly something you might expect for this time of year, yet here it is. It's as if the city woke up one morning and saw the heat of summer hazing in over the front porch, not sure if this was exactly what was happening, as if it were a dream. Like an airport with no one in it.

"An Edmonton Hallway"

I've started a segment of abstract photos that will illustrate glimpses of interesting moments in time and place. There are no real stories behind any of these pictures, just perspectives.
"YVR"

Vancouver Interntational Airport. An important place, where important people do important things. Like rifle through your luggage.

Is it obvious I've got a new camera?!

"In the Air"
Photo by Jeff
Flying into the Okanagan is a fun experience, especially if you are used to making the 4.5 hour drive one way. It's a 39 munite flight, and suddenly you are dropped into one of those uniquely BC places... tip of the desert, California hot in the summer, snowy cold skiing in the winter.
"Pool at Night"

The view from the room.
"Burnaby in the Distance"

The return flight into Vancouver, with an amazing view of Burnaby/Vancouver from the air. Four cities down, two more to go!

The travel to and from Victoria is one of those things that is a spectacularly west coast experience. Spending the past few weeks traveling through more than a few cities, Victoria had sights to offer unlike any other.

One of the ocean island passes along the Victoria/Vancouver journey allows a close up view of fellow travelers going the oppostite direction.
