Wow, amazing picture. And it's cool to think about how many of the city's inhabitants would be concentrated right there on the plains at that moment.

great shots Klazu!

what's the best way to share photos from Flickr (not mine). I'm not too familiar with Flickr but it seems that essentially every picture I come across on there says that sharing has been disabled.. how do you guys get the actual photo URL?

Around Vancouver as seen from 150 meters above Downtown. Some very unique angles of the city here.

Port of Vancouver.


Harbour Center revolving restaurant and observation deck. Vancouver icon.


Vancouver's center of gay life is Davie Village. The painted rainbow above Sandman Suites hotel is a recent addition.


A bit closer.


Davie Street and the "famous" Rainbow Crosswalk.


Next door is West End. Here is the only full block of old wooden heritage houses.


There is a street market every Saturday in front of the houses.


On the other side of the False Creek is Kitsilano. Here is Museum of Vancouver.


Kitsilano has some great beaches, but also a popular public pool. Photo taken on low tide.


Further up is the UBC peninsula. Spanish Banks is the longest stretch of one single beach in Vancouver (me thinks).


Back in Downtown. A never-seen-before angle.


From a bit higher up.


Capitol Residences a.k.a. "Playstation3 Building".


Last a small peek at the Vancouver Public Library.


This view of The Jameson (designed by Mr. Foster). The Exchange Tower will soon block this view.


Hope you enjoyed! More to follow.

Great photos Klazu - thanks!

I'd love to see a CN-style tower clad in glass. Any exist? That are so tall and thin but glass?

Gorgeous pics, BTW.

The more of this I see, the more I'm falling in love with TO:

It's the same eclectic happiness that I love about here, but on a more muscular scale.

And this is great. Hideous architecture but lovely atmosphere:

D'aww.

But to me, this shit is what TO is all about. Little funky, eclectic, messy, druggy, kinda dirty, warm, chill, sometimes trashy, sometimes swanky. Not always nice looking and definitely not grand, but whatever, it's cool. Ironically though, pretty much the opposite of what it's supposed to be according to the rest of the world anyway. Kool Maudit gets it. Rousseau gets it. My fellow Torontonian forumers get it, but otherwise it seems lost on most people. Hell, even the shit I usually post is...something else. Looks pretty, but isn't really a genuine shot into the city. Well, that's at least one side of the city I guess, among a bunch of others, but I love em all anyway.

But don't worry, before y'all think I'm being a myopic homer, I've never met a city or a country that I didn't like at least a little bit. The things that make one place great can usually be found elsewhere, and at the same time, there's always something unique about a place. Everywhere is pretty cool. Even Montreal and St. John's and Calgary and everywhere else all you lovable, miserable cunts call home.

Well, except post-1960s suburbia. That can all fuck itself.

Ugh. This is why you don't post at 5 am after a night of "partying".




Amazing collection up there as always though David. So dreamy.

Story of my life.

But it was a great post. Thanks for the insight.

My setup consists of two Canon EOS bodies, four L-series lenses and some miscellaneous stuff. These ones have been taken with Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM and Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM.
