This is a discussion on Words within the Architecture & Man Made (cities, buildings, roads, objects & abstracts) forums, part of the Show your photo (Color) - Landscape & Nature (flowers, mountains, storms etc.) category; I like this one Jas despite the kink I now have in my neck...

    Very nice capture, nice angle, like the muted tones, the Steel supports just make the photo and the words add an interesting visual into the mix. I like everything you did to it, cool shot.

    An artist friend set me on the right track (pun intended) And with a little research, this is what I found. The words are part of an Art Installation by artist Derek Besant commissioned by the City of Calgary. The installation is titled "Wander".

    "Here, the art is included in the form of cowboy poetry, written by established Calgary artist Derek Besant and realized as text sandblasted onto the glass panels of the station canopy. The words are projected by the sun onto the adjacent buildings and floor of the platform, shifting with the sun throughout the day and providing a subtle and elegant clue to the design origins. Decorative LED lighting, not yet operational, will extend the effect into the night. The completed station is already a popular addition to downtown, spurring adjacent new restaurant and retail development. The design received a Mayor's Urban Design Award in 2005."
