Olympic Village and surrounding areas
 
Today there was a nice, clear, day and I finally had a chance to take some pictures of the Olympic Village construction site and general views from there towards Yaletown other surrounding areas.
Enjoy :)

thanks for posting. I love the one with benches facing BC Place - spectacular. It's my new wallpaper now for both Windows XP and Ubuntu machines =)

Too bad the fence was in the way for that one. I was literally on my toes getting strange looks from people. If you want a high res file, let me know...then you can cut that part out.

awesome pics!!! can't wait to see it completed, it'll definitely be one of the best Olympic Villages yet.

btw, is this a heron?

^^ Yes it is. Blends in with the colour of the rocks quite nicely...I almost missed it.

I was also walking around there today, probably soon after these photos. The mountains looked absolutely amazing with all the recent snow. Most of the time I find many of the condos look pretty fugly, but they show their best as the sun is setting. The reflection off all the glass looks really nice. I wasn't blown away by the new walking area, but what do you expect at this point. It's just a small sliver of the entire project. I'm probably more interested in how W.1st Ave will turn out over the years. Right now it basically looks like an alley in a rough part of south London or something. With the new streetcar going in, multi-level buildings, sidewalks etc. it should be interesting to see the change in 5 years.

I walked through SEFC a couple of weeks ago. I agree that much of the skyline looks fugly with so many similar Concord towers. At night however that view redeems itself and looks spectacular with all the glass condos emitting/reflecting light.

:previous: So pretty much what I said. :D

I didn't want to create a new thread for these...plus it provides a nice before-and-after effect.

All pics taken by me today.
