City of Vancouver

A view of Vancouver from the north shore. Tourist outlooks, like the one on top of Grouse Mountain provide a better view. You get to the top of the mountain by taking a 1.6 km (1 mile) ride on an aerial tram.
I tried to shoot from a sub division, and only luck and a lot of driving allowed me to find a view that was not completely obstructed by trees. So, from this, one of Canada's most affluent neighborhoods (where the big bucks are), they can see the length of East Hastings street, a street that deals in little bucks (spare change), and fails to be mentioned in the tourist brochure.

The Olympic symbol called Inukshuk, an Inuit directional marker made of large rocks, and probably errected by a couple of Inuit. Vancouver apparently got a good 2 for one deal, because another Inukshuk sits on top of Whistler Mountain. (413 kb)

This part of Robson Square is being renovated. I had heard that Robson Square was an interesting architectural achievement. But now that I finally see it, I see only renovations. It used to have a dome, a waterfall, and ballroom dance classes on Friday. (426 kb)
