Attempts to pull the barge failed and now the plan is to demolish the barge on the spot.

What does the City care if someone messes with some dude's barge? Especially if it's being demolished anyway?

There are plenty of ways one could get injured at Stanley Park and they aren't policed 24/7. Normally they're just fenced off or signs are placed on it.

Most people have probably missed the news about a new walk that has opened in West Vancouver.



In past years dozens of luxury mansions have gone up with fantastic views.





The new walk is quiet yet a fun little stroll through the forest.









Highlight of the walk is a 200-metre wooden Trestle Bridge.









View towards Vancouver is nice from most of West Vancouver.







At the bottom there is a pop-up village which has a nice pizzeria that is very busy on weekends.







Cypress Village will be a new neighborhood going up in coming years and will be home to 7,000 new people.

That last Halifax pic is quite funny - looks like the couple on the far left are about to walk straight into that brick wall!

Lovely Montreal pics as per usual - I’m thinking of taking a week long holiday at the of September to either Toronto or Montreal, or maybe extend it to ten days and do both.

Some random Victoria pics from the past couple months - long overdue for a proper shoot with the Great Scaper.

Final of four building on the former Bay parkade - a large component is affordable rentals, but does that mean the windows have to be so much smaller and the design blah? Could be worse I guess..

New downtown firehall with more ‘affordable’ rental units above. A fair bit of progress has occurred since this photo:

I love the south coast of Vancouver Island - it's really like nowhere else in Canada. Definitely gotta explore more of Victoria's neighbourhoods this summer.

Thanks Zahav

MonkeyRonin - Definitely get out and check out the neighbourhoods. As much as I’m a downtown guy living downtown - the inner neighbourhoods are endlessly fascinating, beautiful and quirky in their own way, with the best ones bordering right on downtown - James Bay, Fairfield, Rockland, and Fernwood. Countless rocky outcrops and hills throughout the city offering great city and ocean views, and the entire coastline is a scenic journey by car or bike.

Even coming into the city from the ferry terminal or airport you pass through some beautiful scenery and farmland:

Wow Zoomer. Really great photos. Thanks so much for sharing them and yes we need to do another photo tour soon. I really like the Wedge development. It's crying to be taller with that design but it looks awesome. Nice photo of the beach too. I regularly go to the Willow's beach. I couldn't imagine not living by the ocean. Here's a few photos from The Willow's that I've taken in the last two weeks...

That West Van trailway would be interesting as a race course for some kind of cycling (or similar) event.
