The Bow: List Edition

Super boring to everyone who’s not up here, but:

ITEM ONE: they’ve finally fixed the path that got washed away in The Great 2024 Calgary Water Main Break last June.

The geese are mad because that was a prime “eat ALL the grass” spot.

ITEM TWO: we just got hella rain (Friday and Saturday were the rainiest days Calgary’s seen since the 2013 flood) and the Bow is really muddy and fast right now. Ignore my terrible camera skills.

END!

I Love Calgary

So because I felt like death after my shot the other day, I forgot to post some pics I took of downtown. So here ya go!

The Joy of Lego + The Bow

Things I learned today:

There is a Lego-building group that focuses on constructing landmark Calgary buildings.

It took Roy Nelson five years and about 8,500 pieces of Lego to build my favorite Calgary building, The Bow.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Isn’t that a beautiful building? The fact that he’s got a giant Lego head as that wire mesh head statue is pretty awesome.

If I had money to spare to buy this, I totally would. I dig this kind of stuff.
