Beautiful shots, mcminsen. You really caught the peak fall colours in George Wainborn Park. I also love your ongoing Metrotown-Mount Pleasant-South False Creek skyline telephoto series.
Some pics from yesterday Oct 30, in the Fraser area around 49th. Still quite diverse, a lot of the Indian shops have moved over from 49th in recent times as Main Street has become too expensive. It was actually quite busy I just waited till there were no people in the frame as much as I could.
Great Fraser St. and Mt. Pleasant pics! I walked all through Mt. Pleasant yesterday because it always really gets into the Halloween spirit. Lots of places with decorations, lots of people in costumes out and about, it's really fun. And combined with the older/some historic housing stock, it's very picturesque. The weather really was great for a Halloween on a weekend
Great pictures, Klazu! It's incredible to think that a decade and a half ago, Wall Centre was the tallest and there was nothing visually interesting at all about the dt skyline.

I think the 60s-80s office towers made for a cool skyline. Much more serious, but colourful.

Vancouver Aquarium is currently closed due to COVID-19, but it was a nice place to visit for the first time few years ago. I hope they can re-open soon again.
At the time there was a special exhibition showing marine animals in an unusual way.
