I love the vertical lines of the Chrysler building in New York. Beautiful architecture seldom found these days…

Years ago, I found myself on #theroad to Fort McMurray, Alberta. There were lots of trucks carrying equipment for the oil sands. It was a very long drive!

Highway 401, just outside Toronto. It’s one of the busiest highways in the world.

My dad and other ground crew in the RAF. ANTIFA to the core. He was part of the liberation of Belsen. He was also a staunch unionist and Labour Party member. I wonder how he would have felt being labelled a terrorist by an orange-skinned fascist?

One last photo for #BlueSkyArtShow! I’m retired now, but when I was Programs Coordinator at the library, Summer Reading Club was one of my favourite parts of #summer. Seeing the enthusiasm kids had for reading was so inspiring.
