...... is about all I got for my efforts in Vancouver today. It was too cold to walk around the park or wharves like I wanted to do.

This is Grouse Mountain which is a very popular ski area just north of Vancouver. It's well lit up at night and is quite nice to look at. During the day with a decent set of binoculars you can see the skiers. It was fairly early in the morning when I took this so not a lot of people there yet but when I zoom in on the shot I can see people. I only took the shot because of the big wind generator.

This was taken from my car as I was headed home. Somebody behind me got cranky because I stayed at the red light for 5 extra seconds. :fing27

This big tent thingy is called Canada Place and this is what they have to say about it..............

" Canada Place is a gathering place, bringing people together in celebration, to connect with our country with one another. Since our inception in 1986 during the World’s Fair, Expo 86, Canada Place welcomes over 3 million people annually. We take great pride in our role as a Canadian icon and through our annual community events such as Canada Day, the Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show, Remembrance Day and Christmas at Canada Place, we have the opportunity to showcase and share our national pride with you. "


Other than that I have no idea what it's all about. I've never been there.

It looks like it was a pretty clear day weather wise. What sort of business is that in the second picture at the base of the mountain?

I've been to Canada Place a couple of times. I watched the Canada Day fireworks from there once and I've been to the IMAX theater there as well. I think the cruise ships dock somewhere around there too.

I think those are the North Vancouver Sulphur Works.

It should be homes! What a view!

I'd love to work at a place where there was a view outside my window.

My view overlooks the parking lot and the homes across the street. Oh.... and a McDonald's, a Bank, and the Kroger's gas station if I look way to the right. Way to the left is more homes and another parking lot.

No mountains. :(

I agree. I"m thinking of lobbying the farm I work for to move to the Fraser Valley in BC. My life would then be complete. :D

Actually, yes! They will be hiring a few extra people for summer. Why, you interested? :D

Only for the summer? :(

I've got way too many bills and mouths to feed. I'm pretty much stuck where I am at the moment. I was just dreaming........... :willy_nilly:

:humm: Actually, you're American. If you're willing to move to Phoenix they might need someone on their farm there year-round. :D
