Blech, cloudy days don't do my 'hood any favours. Great pics though (all of them that you've ever posted). Lions Gate Hospital looks so close to the shore in that last one, but it's on 14th.
I happen to love the clouds in the second photo and it's shame that I was too tired to take a wider / panorama shot of North Vancouver. It's again the zoom lens that brings the mountains closer to the city.

I need to explore Gastown area more, but I am not sure if walking down East Hastings is a safe thing to do with an expensive camera...

Both are common views (walking over Lions Gate Bridge or taking the Seabus to Downtown), but I haven't seen too many photos of them either, which is why I decided to share my shots. interesting is the difference in the feeling of density between the two photos of the same city.

Shows why we locals get upset when people say something like "New West is the only urban feeling area outside of downtown." Yeah CNV buildings are stubby, but Lonsdale can go head to head with any other suburban town centre for street life. And the building boom only started recently.
edit: Klazu, if you're looking for another under-appreciated angle, try around Grand Blvd. Especially for Metrotown pics. Makes me wish I had a zoom lens every time I'm there.
Amazing! I've never been to the Othello Tunnels, and always wanted to. This makes me want to see them in real life!
If you want to do the whole 10km loop trip on bike, then I recommend starting from the west side (closest to Hope). It's a very gentle uphill all the way to the tunnels, but this will give you a very easy and fun return trip.
If you just want to check out the tunnels, it's only a 500m walk from the parking place on the east side.
Beginning of October the weather was still warm in Vancouver and so we took our bikes to Ladner. Here are photos of Roberts Bank area along the 25km loop ride we did.
