Scenes from a mall



Last night we ventured out of the +15 and onto the streets of Calgary in search of dinner. There is an area of streets that are closed off in the evening to create an open mall of sorts where most of the bars and restaurants are. The lights here are fantastic and my photos don't really do them justice. In the above photo you can see towards the top that there are vertical silver fixtures that have blueish lights that start at the top and move down at intermittent times. I think this is supposed to appear to be snow.



I was not able to get a picture of it, but I can say with some certainty that drunk people and ice do not mix.

I think what I like is that it all seems to be a celebration of winter rather than christmas.

The Canadians are making war on Christmas! Saddle up and head north! Once more into the breach! If you're not with us, you're against us!

I can't imaging waging war against a country that has stores called "Bongs 'n Such". It would probably be called off due to a lack of interest.
