The weather so far this summer has been nothing short of gorgeous, with a little break last week of some rain. But Vancouver has been close to record levels of sunshine and rainfall levels way below average. Perfect for picture taking! The first clump of pics is from Sunday night down by the water and from the Burrard Bridge, followed by some randoms.

That's the Art Deco Burrard Bridge back there. It's going to be restored in the near future:

All the chairs had inscriptions on them:
