A building I walked by downtown on my way to Stanley Park. I took this
photo because I thought the image of three buildings reflected in this
one was pretty neat.
Incidentally, I soon decided
to hop a bus instead of walking.
| An excellent image of Stanley Park's rose garden with a great
depth of focus.

A huge, fully circular panorama of Stanley Park's rose garden.
| A train for kids in one part of the park. On the weekday I was there, there
were many mothers with young ones in tow lining up for the ride.

| Another gardeny part of Stanley Park.
| I like the concentric layout of this rather sparse garden.
| Ducks by the Lost Lagoon.

| A view looking south-east at the near side of downtown and the West End.
| Some totem polls.
| Motorboats need refueling too. And look at what a great form of
advertising it is. Imagine how many people see the sign every day.

| This series of cranes (I believe) looked, from afar, like a dinosaur or
giant mechanical monster, reminding me of old clumsy toys and cartoons.

A panorama of downtown, the eastern edge of Stanley Park, and its nice
walking path. Taken from an outcropping in Stanley Park.
| A cannon actively used to report the time.
| A rare picture of myself that I'm fairly happy with. Excellent. Taken
with a timer. The background is the city of North Vancouver.

A panorama of the hills and city north of Vancouver, as seen from Stanley Park.
| The Lions Gate Bridge, joining Stanley Park in Vancouver with the city of North Vancouver.
| Another view of the Lions Gate Bridge.
| Prospect Point, the main viewpoint / highest point in Stanley Park.
North Vancouver is in the background. From the viewpoint, one can also
see English Bay / Burrard Inlet (neither shown).

| Another picture of me, with English Bay / Burrard Inlet and North Vancouver
in the background.
| A tree growing anchored to another tree's stump. Seen while hiking. (I
saw a few others like it, though this instance was the most striking.)
| An example of how well forested much of Stanley Park is. The photo shows
a nice, curving hiking trail overlooking the water. Sadly, the
water is washed out (in color) (pun unintended).

| A massive tree trunk with a sapling sprouting from it.
| Siwash Rock.
| Another view of Siwash Rock.
| A story about Siwash Rock. What kind of reward is that?!

Documentation of one of the beaches (in Stanley Park) along English Bay.
Nice beaches like this stretch for many miles around the
coast that faces English Bay.
Between taking the previous
pictures at Siwash Rock and taking this photograph, I took a
panoramic
movie of the western horizon. (This picture, in contrast, faces
generally northward.)
| The walking path around the edge of Stanley Park, this time bordered with a
rock beach. Many previous pictures implicitly included this path; I walked
a good fraction of it.
| I love that Vancouver has the same type of stone balancing statues I find
on some beaches in California.
Across the water you can see the
neighborhood of Kitsilano, from which I watched the fireworks the previous
evening.
| A view of the West End, Burrard Bridge (which I walked across, took photos of,
and took photos from the previous evening), and Kitsilano.

| More rock balancing statues.
| More proof of the woody-ness of Stanley Park.

| From left-to-right, top-to-bottom: miso soup, strange kugel-like thing,
pork (in aluminum), tempura, rice, chicken teriyaki, California rolls
(crab and avocado) and salmon rolls.

balcony of Yoshi's.
