So, I'll admit that these aren't be best quality or anything, but I took them whilst out walking the puppy along the SE False Creek seawall:

Thanks. He's a 4 and a half month old American Eskimo Dog/Cairn Terrorist (errr Terrier) mix. I was actually surprised how well he took to walking the SE False Creek Sea Wall. We went from Science World to Broadway and Bayswater.

I'm also impressed how well the pictures from my phone turned out too!

Google maps doesn't give the option to get directions on the seawall, but its about 8 or 9 KM. Poor high energy puppy didn't know what hit him either!

A bit off topic, but try this here when you go for walks/bike rides/kayaking trips: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

The third photo was taken from Spanish Bank Beach, near the very end at the off-leash Dog Beach. It's a beautiful area!! There was actually a wedding there a couple of days ago, while I was there (well, not quite on the dog beach... though ) Another shot from yesterday, a big panorama from the VCC, looking across the Burrard Inlet.
