As it was seen at the end of March 2010. It was interesting, but I would not go to Stanley park just to see these poles.

Longing for some coolness
It is very hot in South East. It is very hot and annoying and so today’s photo is from much cooler place. It was very cold and windy up there on top of the mountain when I took this photo. I wish we would get some nice cool breeze of that air into South East. But it is not possible, it is far away from us. It is in British Columbia, I don’t think we get many big fronts all the way from there down in South East US. Oh well.

Hungry Birdie
We were having some waffles at Crystal Hut on Blackcomb mountain when this guy came by and got on the rail right next to me. He was hungry for Crystal Hut waffles. He did not afraid and seat probably about 20 inches from me. I had to take a picture.
btw, if you are ever skiing or snowboarding on Blackcomb mountain, make sure to stop by Crystal Hut and eat some of their oven grilled stakes or if you have a sweet tooth then some waffles with blueberries, chocolate, strawberries and loads and loads of whip cream. Good stuff.
Vancouver New Sky Line
Couple month ago we had a chance to visit Vancouver and spend there couple days. In the past 10 years I drove through it at least half a dozen times on my way to Whistler/Blackcomb, but never stayed here or spent any time. While driving through the city it always had some modern magic to it.
Vancouver is cool, but during the visit, my expectations of something magical and totally different didn’t totally come to reality. Can’t truly pin point what it is though.
This picture was taken from inside the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden. I liked the contrast of old Chinese buildings with Chinese garden against all those new ultramodern apartments. I’ll post a few more pictures from Vancouver in the coming days.
