This is Vancouver while the Opening Ceremonies were happening about 1.7 kms from here. The city was quite the ghost town tonight! And yes, it is raining:

Earlier today. This bridge leading to downtown was closed to traffic for most of the day but a lot of people stayed off the roads so traffic wasn't that bad considering:

Waaaaay too over exposed, people should learn photography basics before attempting crappy HDR.

Brutal.

a friend sent me this pic of granville street on saturday night. insane! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/oct2gon/4382986637_e377c7a485_o.jpg

Looks like Montréal all summer long! (and sometimes in the winter)

That image is really impressive!

Seriously, Montreal approaches this (I mean many streets like this, and not one isolated spot like a plaza/park) about 10-20 days every year...

Obviously during the whole Grand Prix weekend, St-Jean-Baptiste, at major concerts during the biggest summer festivals, at some fireworks, and sometimes the car-free day

I thought it was fine. I've seen 18th-century paintings with the same colour qualities and light techniques.

Yes but this isn't the 18th century and it doesn't look that authentic-looking (where I think it could look cool). Way too post processed.

That Granville Street pic is crazy! I have no doubt Montreal can get like that regularly. I think what makes it especially rare for Vancouver is that we don't have any pedestrian-only streets unless they're closed down for something like the car-free festivals. Like these pics of mine from Commercial last summer:

:previous: Crazy. I can understand a little bit, the desire to soak up some Olympic vibe, but how fun can it really be to be amongst that? Unless you like being a sardine.

People from big cities like it busy like that. When you're used to a place that's hopping every day, and then go to a place that's not, it feels really quiet/sleepy/dead. It's about time Vancouver had more life on its streets. It's not really a small city any more. Better late than never Vancouver! I wish I were there. :tup:

Here are some Pictures of the area around Brentwood Skytrain station in Burnaby.

These were taken last week during the beautiful 8 day sunny streak we had during the Olympics. Around the Brentwood area the temps were around 15 in the afternoon during this sunny stretch. Nearly all of these towers have been built in the last 5 years.

With many more tower projects proposed and a possible mall renovation/expansion proposed I feel this area could become a very interesting urban environment, especially with the skytrain guideway running through it, over the next 2 decades.

All images are my own
