My parents had visited this town on a trip to Nova Scotia. By the time I made a trip to Nova Scotia, my mom had passed away and my dad was in hospice care.
But I remembered my dad’s souvenir from this town, a vintage brass alidade that he held on his lap (carefully boxed up) on the flight home. Later, he spent several months polishing the brass until it looked like it was new. It was his pride and joy.
So it seemed right, that as he lay dying back home, I’d take a short detour to Annapolis Royal and sit by the water and think about his alidade. And him.
(Oh, and what’s an alidade? It’s a surveying or navigational tool used to sight distant objects. His introduction to the field of engineering was working on a surveying crew, and his Nova Scotian souvenir was surely a reminder of his youthful years.)

If you ever go to Limon, Colorado, you might want to skip the chain hotels out on the interstate and get a room at the Safari Inn. It’s clean. It’s cheap. It’s aggressively pink.
And it has this fantastic sign by the ice machine.

Views from hotel rooms are something I will always photograph. (For example: San Diego; Stroud, Oklahoma; San Antonio; Oklahoma City; and Memphis.)
And here’s what I could see from a hotel room in San Francisco.

Sometimes images will just hang around on my computer for, say, 1,228 days between when I make them and when they emerge here.
I don’t really have an explanation, or an excuse. It’s just the way it worked out.
