This is one of a few time lapse photos I took at an LRT crossing downtown. This was taken just after sun set. So, there was enough light reflected from the sky to make the snow appear blue. So, "fixing" white balance to make the snow white, made the sky whiter, which I guess is ok.

Pigeon castle

This is a structure by the Sunnyside LRT station. Like others, it has upward pointing bristles that are supposed to keep the birds from nesting. This (apparent) momma pigeon discovered the bristles make it a great place to raise her young (adjacent picture). Maybe the bristles keep out other birds.

Building inspector arrives at accident site

This is across the street from the old court building (seen here) on 7 Avenue at 4 Street SW, by the LRT platform, which is being taken down. A granite slab fell from the building onto the LRT platform (nobody was hurt) and the inspector arrived to make sure the LRT platform was safe, and could be reopened. Read more here.
