Part 2 is dedicated to the older, grittier, less sterile side of Vancouver. This is one that is often overlooked by casual observers and is a nice contrast with those glimmering towers in the first thread. Much of the inner city feels like it was built just yesterday and this is dedicated to what came before that.

[j4893k]

Your photos are astounding. Thanks so much for posting.

[cityscapes]

It still looks nicer than most cities even with the grit.

[ColDayMan]

That's the nicest "grit" I've ever seen!

[Coldrsx]

wow dude, great thread

did you make it down to Commercial?

[Centropolis]

That's the nicest "grit" I've ever seen!

boy you aint kiddin'

like theres good cholesterol and bad cholesterol -
it's the good, lived in kind of grit.

[sabotai]

wow dude, great thread

:P ;)

[Sekkle]

I love how colorful your shots are. You're a master of that wide-angle lens, too.

[entheosfog]

Fantastic!

[diskojoe]

very nice. i also noticed that the saturation has been really popping on the threads lately. nice mix one this one.

[TexasPlaya]

Thanks for the photos. This one stood out in particular to me:

[wisla_krakow]

this is what i was looking forward to
great set
hopefully you visit again soon!

[Bedhead]

Amazing shots, as ever - love this (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5248/5275143761_a70338d680_b.jpg)one.

[Kingofthehill]

No golden bottle specials?! Nice going with the decentralized, miscellaneous focus of this thread. Did you at all visit Vancouver's Downtown Eastside? Lots of grit there.

[ShadowMaster]

Sabo does it right!

[Chef]

This thread is the highlight of my day so far.

[ue]

ah, yes, beautiful work once again. It's interesting the contrast Vancouver can represent. You have the posh and modern Yaletown condos just blocks away from dilapidated neighbourhoods around Hastings St. and the Downtown Eastside. I guess that's what happens when the prices are so high that it makes the middle class virtually nonexistant because they cannot afford the high prices of Vancouver.

[Expat]

Apparently, Vancouver is visually interesting from either side. You do excellent work.
