Hi! I’m back. I took yesterday off because, well, I was pooped. And we were out late last night taking photos of the Vectorial Light Display in English Bay. I had a great idea, and that was to take photos of the lights from the West Vancouver side. We drove over to Ambleside Beach and could not see the light display at all. That’s because Stanley Park was totally in the way. Good thing I’m not a geography major.
So, we went to Stanley Park to get some photos of those darn lights. The tide was far out last night. I also discovered a heron walking in my photos once I got home. Here’s what this light installation looked like from 10:22 to 10:38 pm on the Sea Wall right near the Second Beach Pool.
Would you like to see a few more shots? Great. Because I have some for you right here.

I went over to a small event this afternoon over in one of the fancy hotels on the water. The event was not too interesting to me, unfortunately. I wish I had headed over to LiveCity in Yaletown instead, but I took a chance and ended with enough time to check out The Rings. So, I made my way over to the cauldron. The fence has been moved quite a bit closer to the giant fire sculpture.

My lunch time adventure today consisted of hopping on the Canada Line to make a quick trip into the official Coke Pin Trading Centre at the airport. It was a short and sweet trip. If you put a pin on their map, you get a coke pin made of recycled material. Very cool. The big pin map will be sent to a pin museum in the States and put on display there. I’m sure my Albertan Christian College pin will enjoy itself in the United States.
I had plans to take all night shots today, but I had a photo gig for DOXA tonight and it really wasn’t that dark when I walked across the Burrard Street Bridge, so you couldn’t see the light display below at all. That’s okay, because tomorrow we’re going to a tweet-up downtown, so I’ll get a chance to catch more of the night life. But here’s what I did see along the way…

I hate to even say this, but I think things are winding down in Vancouver. The line up for the Mint Pavilion was only about 3 hours long when I took my lunch at 1:30 this afternoon. One of my big desires ever since Germany House was under construction down on Cordova Street was to have lunch there. I don’t know why. So today was the day. Usually there’s a line up all the way to the Skytrain Station, but today? I just walked in, grabbed the bratwurst shown above and enjoyed my meat on a bun with these fine people:
