Also today in Gastown (it was a busy day) I had the theme from The NeverEnding Story story stuck in my head. IYKYK.
In an alley between two buildings, a brown brick building on the left and red concrete kn the right. Telephone and utility poles form an “H” in the centre. In the background is the iconic Harbour Centre/Vancouver lookout building with its rounded top tower that features a revolving restaurant and looking Looking up water street in Gastown from the middle of the road which is a patchwork of asphalt and cobblestone. On the right, steam rising from the Gastown Steam Clock and a person is heading for the crosswalk. In the distance on the left is Harbour Centre/Vancouver Lookout building with a tower at its top with 360 degree views

Also give me a plywood cutout photo op any day, I’m there. This is the one at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.
In an industrial building with exposed beams and cement floor, I’m posing with my head on top of a wood cut out that is painted like it’s a cannery worker in apron and boots holding a knife in one hand and a fish in the other

The Grinch trying to steal this tree - one of many fun decorated display at the Steveston Festival of Trees in Steveston at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery 🎄

miss604.com/2025/12/wint...
A whimsical Christmas tree that looks like it’s from Whoville, with a crooked drooping top and topper that’s so bent over it’s pointing down. Then, two green fuzzy legs and arms in a red and white Santa suit that look as though a creature is trying to pick up the decorated Christmas tree. It’s located in the cannery building with exposed wooden beams.

Holiday season at the beach in Vancouver

#photography #canada
A sunny day with blue sky and white wispy clouds. A dock/station of bike share bikes with only two bikes docked, a Christmas tree setup in a plaza, and big block letters - a light installation - that spell out “Merry”. A person in a blue coat is walking by the sign. In the background are palm trees and then the beach/water of English Bay

Peaks of the clouds

A moody morning looking across Burrard Inlet at the giant yellow sulphur pile at the north shore terminals surrounded by various industrial structures. In the background. The forests and snow-dusted peaks of the mountains. In the sky, the clouds have peaks like the mountains, not rounded and fluffy

Tonight in Vancouver
Frozen at The Stanley (Arts Club Theatre) ❄️
A child was crying as they were leaving the theatre cause they weren’t ready for it to be over 🥺
People standing under a theatre marquee. The vertical sign says Stanley and the neon sign above the marquee, advertising the show, Disney’s Frozen, says Stanley. It’s night time.

It’s almost reindeer bus season in #Vancouver 🚎🎅🏼

#transit #buses
A street scene in Downtown Vancouver. Photo taken from the sidewalk and there’s oncoming traffic in two lanes to the right. The lane closest to the sidewalk is painted red and says “Bus Stop”. In the lane, a transit bus pulls up with an oversized, red lightbulb nose, eyes on the windshield, and antlers at the top on either side. The bus’s route sign reads: “Merry Christmas”

Cheering on @mnufc.com tonight in their match against San Diego.

We went to an away match at Allianz Field a few years ago with a stop at @blackhartstp.com with @mndarkclouds.bsky.social and felt so welcome.

However, next Saturday all bets are off 😉

#VWFC #MLS @southsiders.ca
Three soccer supporters posing with Southsiders scarves in a packed soccer stadium in Minnesota. We were away fans so had to be in the back of the upper level but the view of the match was great on a nice sunny day.

Cherry blossom tree appreciation post: We love their pink petals in springtime but they sure are pretty in autumn too!

📍Stanley Park, Vancouver

#photography #nature #trees #canada
People walking on a paved path in Stanley Park. On the right are a row of cherry blossom trees but it’s autumn and they have no blossoms but their leaves are bright yellow and orange. Their leaves have fallen on a green grassy area around them. In the distance across the inlet are the north shore mountains The same paved path in the park as the first image. People are standing on the lawn next to the row of cherry blossom trees and it’s springtime so they are full and fluffy with pink blossoms. In this photo more of the park’s trees are in frame on either side and the mountains in the background are slightly less visible

A soccer stadium ahead of a big match. No one on the pitch. The club put rally towels on each seat. It’s 60 min til kickoff so everyone is just sitting around for now.

After going to a few matches in the inaugural season in 2011, we bought @whitecapsfc.com season tickets to give ourselves a date night every match.

Cycling next to the remains of a 400 year old Douglas Fir in Stanley Park 🌲🚲

Two people in yellow jackets cycle down a gravel path in the forest. On the right is a large large and in the forest a bit is the stump it came from. The log is about as tall as the people on bikes.

My friend who moved to France asked if she could have some of my photography printed to hang in her house. She requested one of my reflection photos so I’ve been going through my archives and I have about 40 versions of this view 🥹 It’s one of my favourites.

Along the Seawall in Stanley Park, with the waterfront path and park forest on the left, and across the harbour is a marina with the Downtown Vancouver skyline behind it on the right. The forest on one side and city on the other is reflected in the calm waters of Coal Harbour in this photo, top/bottom
