We flew to Vancouver late afternoon via Westjet
on February 13, 2008

 

It was overcast and the clouds were quite solid

 

There were less clouds closer to the mountains

 

I was impressed by the telephoto lens on my Nikon

 

and got a couple of beautiful shots without having to climb...

 

We stayed at the Holiday Inn on West Broadway

 

just up the hill from False Creek and Granville Island

 
 

Kitty corner from us, an arsonist had torched a taco deli

 

Our usual Starbucks had been blown up

 

Other main floor businesses were destroyed as well

 

Everything was boarded up by the time we'd finished dinner

 

Here's a shot the next day

 

This path is actually a walkway on Laurel

 

across this roadway

 

which leads to a lovely park path and the False Creek seawall.

 

The park had a large off-leash area for dogs
This fellow liked to hide every few minutes under
benches or behind bushes.

 

A waterfall leading into a pool was one of several water features

 

including a small lake with many birds
