It’s glorious summer in Calgary and the best time to sketch outside.
The Golden Inn has been in this location almost forty years making it an unpretentious landmark.
The Silver Dragon was the go to place for Dim Sum when we came back to Calgary thirty years ago.
Last year we Urban Sketchers met up in the Muze Cafe after sketching the lions on the bridge. Coffee comes with egg tarts and pork buns. I never would have noticed the fish and the dragon atop the roof edge of this corner building.
Now historically designated, the Canton Block ca. 1912 is one of the oldest structures in Chinatown. Simple and unpretentious but appealing is it’s brick facade.
Keep sketching!

Lovely Rod. I especially like the last one. Use to walk by this one every morning when I worked downtown.
