I love that Cactus Club. Great service, and amazing view There is literally no better located restaurant in the country that I've come across yet.

That picture of English Bay actually makes me sad. You should be more sensitive to those of us who call lesser cities home > thanks for nothing, jerkface!

No kidding. When I was in Van it was the first place I went on the 2nd day. It was still UC when I moved, so it was my first time being there. Absolutely awesome. Great scale and design for the location. It isn't overbearing, flashy, or ugly at all. I also like that it doesn't totally block out the views from the patio at Milestones!

I won a photography competition in Feb and won $1800 of travel package. so we sent our parents to Vancouver for three days so they could relax and stay way from business for few days and they used my travel package and they stayed in this hotel. they loved it they were very happy.

I like that Kitchener Urban Plaza thingy.

Also the Vancouver sunset at the top of the page reminds me of a Thunder Bay sunrise, though the trees are rather different.

My first photo set with UE's helpful processing training. I didn't use Lightbox, but I used what I learned from playing around with it to fix the colour cast without increasing the saturation. I love it! Much more natural looking.

I personally prefer as natural colors as possible. Some days are hazy and there is nothing wrong with photos showing hazy weather. Sure, one needs to do some post-processing, but I personally do very little editing on my own photos. But do I know that it's fairly difficult to find a good balance and even then the end result will look different on a cheap LCD monitor vs. an expensive one I used.

But to everyone their own and this is truly in the eye of the beholder. Please keep posting more photos.
