I am traveling to Vancouver this week for a conference on "wealthy thought" leadership. It has been the most illuminating conference and I am working on a full post on it. But for now, let's look together at some of the pictures I took from the city. I hope that, after you see them, you will understand, just as I did, why Vancouver is considered one of the top 10 most beautiful cities to live in in the entire world.
The English Bay--It is in the city and not on some isolated part of Canada. But this is Vancouver, not afraid to allow open spaces whithin the city. If this was Los Angeles, there would have been mansions and expensive condominiums up to the water line.
These birds with open wings are spread all over the city. They have many colors and patterns and pop up on the street when you least expect to see a piece of art.
Quiet Saturday morning on English Bay.
The vehicle of the future? Perhaps.
A psychodilic car we just came across on the street. No one knew its history or why it was parked there. But we were all intrigued by it.
An Inuit symbol is this: INUKSHUK. You see it everywhere. It is meant to look like a stylized man from the distance.
Hopefully you liked these images of Vancouver. And hopefully you too can visit it soon.

At the end of March, all the trees are in bloom.
The nature and the big city combine in an absolutely unimaginably beauty in Vancouver.
The Olympic flame is still burning. This time for the para olympics.
Hopefully you liked these images of Vancouver. And hopefully you too can visit it soon.

I liked! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think the images are artistics, colorful and rather unusual. The color of leaves is gorgeous. I enjoyed the tour.
Happy Sunday.
Well how marvelous to pop in and see my city so well represented. Ironically I was downtown last Sunday and driving up Thurlow saw that three wheel car of the future and the crazy car - watched people taking pictures - was that you??
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your time.
We went to Vancouver on our honeymoon. It's a gorgeous city!
ReplyDeleteI am so delighted that you all stopped by. It's wonderful to hear your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you've enjoyed the ride and I hope Vancouver does amazing honymoons. And yes, it could have easily been me taking pictures of that car like crazy. I was trying to find the right angle that will best show how much fun that car was.
Thank you again for your comments!
Fabulous! WE only spent 1 night in Vancouver a few years ago. It's a city we've said several times we want to return to and really SEE. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels,

loved them all, but esp the tree in context of the building behind. very nice.
ReplyDeleteI actually love the car. WE have a car here in town. I think it's bottlecaps that decorate the entire car. It's really quite a sight.
