Spent a great couple of days in Vancouver this weekend, flew on Friday from Nanaimo's beautiful downtown harbour, into Vancouver, the sun was out and the flight was smooth. The pictures are not the best, but considering the windows state of health, they are what they are.

As we approached, it appeared I had chosen the correct side of the plane to sit on.

Came back to the Island today via BC Ferries in less than stellar weather.

Thanks!

I've always thought that the yellow/green apartment building in the following pic is the ugliest colour combo in Metro Vancouver!

I also can't picture the locale of that small Gilligan's Isle in the following pic and wonder who owns that humble abode?!

Great pics, thanks! I've never seen Vancouver from this perspective, and it looks very very nice! I will have to take a Harbour Air flight sometime soon.

That's a weird place - nobody lives there. It's basically been overtaken by birds and left to decay. Perfect for horror movies I'd say.

I believe you're correct. Here it is on Google Maps...
