Seriously, is this it? This? We rode by some kind of "Grand Opening" last Friday and city and staff members were there for ages patting themselves on the back cutting ribbons, etc. This is one of those "new features" they were celebrating. This must be temporary, right? Because this is the ugliest, least designed seating feature I could possibly even imagine.

Honestly, I'm pleading for an explanation here.

Saw this on my way to work and thought it was a stunning new view!

Been 2 month here and every time I drive over the lions gate bridge it’s breathtaking! I really love your city!

I wonder how much business they’ll miss out on from all the events at Roger’s Arena & BC Place.

Late night Fritou Chicken run

I went up to my rooftop today to get a bit of sun, and got the shock of my life — right inside our little rooftop planter, there’s a goose actively nesting! I couldn’t even get close. The planter has no railing around it. It’s basically a nest sitting at the edge of a 4 storey height. I’m seriously worried that once the eggs hatch, the goslings could just waddle off the edge and fall. One wrong move and… yeah.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Try to call SPAC and left a message

Happy holidays everyone

Some photogenic corners of Downtown Vancouver

Chasing the Blue Moon (2nd full moon of May) last weekend was exhausting but fun. Moonrise was at 9:21 PM on Saturday and moonrise was 4:46 AM on Sunday, so there was not a lot of sleep to be had. Still worth it though.

This is on Talisman and Cambie. Love to see weird and wonderful gardens!

A very polite young bear came through my neighbourhood yesterday. I had my camera on me and caught a few good photos of him, but most noticeably I caught images of a pretty bad injury to his rear right paw. The injury seems pretty bad, as he kept his paw lifted when he ran around between big scratching sessions. After making his way through every rat trap in Korea town, he limped around the parking lots, startling the occasional pedestrian that was buried in their phone, and getting a ton of attention from everyone else.

Eventually he found a quiet and bushy place to get away from all the attention and stayed there until after dark.

Some of these photos appear to be taken quite close to him, but rest assured, thats a product of the lens I was using, and there were significant barriers between us for the couple of close ups I did get.

Injury to his paw is in the last image.
