Ok, winter is dragging on so I thought I would add a little summery tropical action.

What I call the Hawaii Five-O building which is behind the Morton Triangle.

^^^^

I can't wait for summer, or even just spring.

SpongeG · #70 Posted **Feb 14, 2007, 8:12 AM**

the blossoms will be out very soon at st pauls hospital

those ones bloom the earliest

Cool. Are all the palm trees still out? Do they take the banana plant in during winter? Nice crane action. I hope to get up to Vancouver some time soon and take pictures.

Ya all the palms are still right where they ought to be(they can handle to -15c). There was no problems with the wind storms either that I know of.

The banana trees stay as they're quite large. They can handle temps to -20c apparently but the leaves die of around -2. The trunks are protected over winter then unwrapped in spring. The leaves grow back really fast and at a rate of 2 ft per week. I've seen quite a few dead looking ones in my neighbourhood but it's all part of the plant's seasonal natural process.

I really can't wait too. My friend got a new boat so we are dying to test it out.

this one screams Hawaii to me

Ya that building has always reminded me of the one on the Hawaii Five-O intro when Jack Lord spins around at the beginning. It probably looks quite different but it reminds me of it somehow anyway.

There seems to be quite a few older apartment buildings in Vancouver that you would similarly see in Honolulu.

My guess is the alley between Melville and Georgia.

I think I know where that is. The street you're looking down is actually the alley just north of Georgia. The cross street there is Bute. That small, square commercial building is just across the street from the Melville (the Melville would be to the left side of the pick behind that condo). The small sliver of red building is the Banff Apartments building on the corner of Georgia and Bute.

EDIT: Nevermind, murman beat me to it.

SpongeG · #80 Posted **Feb 15, 2007, 11:11 PM**

i figured it was somewhere down that part but its a not often seen view
