No kidding. Choking back those suckers whole is pretty darn ambitious.

Just don't want to be under that bird when it finally "passes" the remains.

Ha! As I was scrolling through the pics and saw the starfish clinging to the rocks, I really started to miss Van - especially now that it's spring there. And then I remembered a seagull eating one just before I saw your next pic, Locked In, and boom! Nice combo. Thanks for the memories everyone. Oh, and my brother refers to those flying fortresses as, "shithawks"!

I think they were just plastic, but the box wasn't filled with them, they were just spilling out. The display is already gone!

Here's a few from last weekend:

Two questions about the last post... What are the top windows for or were for on the sears building? Is that floor even used anymore? and where is the last picture?

the last picture is on the 7th floor of the bay - its the home to ralph lauren furniture - I believe it used to be the restaurant many years ago

as for sears - I think the store is 4 floors with the 6th floor being the sears outlet and than the 5th & 7th floor closed off to the public and just sit empty according to a friend who worked there - I haven't been up inside the store in a long time - but i seem to recall when you go to the outlet level you go past a boarded up level

It's a fantastic book, one I've been meaning to buy. Of course, I would have bought it already if my pictures that were supposed to be in it actually made it in.
Oh well, I'll have to make my own book, I guess.

But hey thanks for the interesting pix.

Italian Day on Commercial Drive | June 5th 2011 | Part 1

Vancouverites filled Commercial Drive today for Italian Day, which this year occurred less than 24 hours after more than 70,000 people were in the streets downtown to celebrate the Canucks win in game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. It's been quite the weekend for street parties!

Enjoy my photos. (taken with a combination of cell phone camera and an actual camera)
