A Very "Boris" Vacation (2007) - Vancouver Part I

Boris2k7 · #1 Posted **Sep 30, 2007, 5:51 AM**

I have to apologize to Vancouver, I didn't stay very long (a whole 36 hours) and didn't give you the exposure you deserve. However, I also deserve an apology from you, as I didn't get very good weather for the majority of the time I was there. In any case, here's the photos, for the rest of you who are not involved in this intimate conversation.

During this series, I explore the cities of Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa/Gatineau

You dont' need to apologize cause you did a great job in 36 hours!

Nice pictures! You captured Vancouver very well in such a short time!

Boris2k7 · #4 Posted **Sep 30, 2007, 9:25 PM**

Thanks for the comments so far! I think the thread second thread will have better pics... maybe. There'll at least be a Vancouver pano.

Great set, especially for such a short time spent in the city. You must've done nothing but take pictures the whole time. Sorry about the weather!

Mr.YGuy · #6 Posted **Sep 30, 2007, 9:56 PM**

Absolutely gorgeous pics of Vancouver! You've made me see the city in a whole new light. I would love to see more.

is that a gas station in the middle of the water in picture 66?

Mr.YGuy · #8 Posted **Sep 30, 2007, 10:37 PM**

Yeah, it looks like a gas station to me. Probably for boats because I've seen one in a lake for boats before.

Correct, that is a Chevron station floating in the middle of the Burrard Inlet, with North Vancouver in the distance.

Looks like the guy in #12 is drinking ketchup.

Great pics! Vancouver is fascinating.

as you can see in this old pic...

I like how whenever there are "people" shots in Vancouver, there's always at least one guy who looks like Moby.
