Downtown, Vancouver BC
by Jenny
These photos were taken from my trip to Vancouver, Canada in July 2011. There’s so much to like about Vancouver and these photos are the essence of the city and of my trip.
The Drop.
I loved the pixeled orca!
The Olympic Cauldron.
See you soon, Vancouver.
Great pics Jen! The very last photo reminds me of Taiwan, with more greens of course =P
I’d love to go to Taiwan some day.
Oh you’d love it, especially the food there
I bet I would. I miss the food that the Asian restaurants served in Vancouver. There were so much to eat and so little time, haha.
One of my favorite spots on the planet….you have some NICE shots….thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the visit!
I love that pixelated orca too! And that Olympic Cauldron looks like something out of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude! Nice!
Haha, yeah. It does look like it. Thanks!
I herd that living in V
is the best.
Never been there, but I heard that mountains are near, seashore…
Vancouver is a beautiful and enjoyable place. And you’re right about the mountains. You see them everywhere. I spent a day at Grouse Mountain http://www.grousemountain.com/ and the view was spectacular from there. I didn’t stay long enough for good shots though because of the bugs. They were harmless but the longer you stayed motionless, the more would surround you. =P
Kul att du lade ut de bilderna!
) Jätte fina bilder!
Jag glömde nästan bort de faktiskt. Har säkert fler bilder att visa från Kanada. Jag får se om det finns foton värdiga att smacka upp här.
I think I could sense some kind of recurring theme in the photographic artworks above – the connection or bond between Sky and Earth, or of Man reaching upwards, i.e. a sort of well-grounded, earthbound transcendence, if that could make any sense? The central object is quite of an a pillar-like
figure, reaching upwards and downwards at the samt time, connecting and uniting above and below.
There is also a kind of hopefull futursitic feel to them. They are bright in a warm and comforting way, perhaps representing a positive outlook for human society in the future
The sky makes an excellent backdrop for any architecture that I capture with my camera. That’s why I find it important for the sky to be clear. Buildings simply look better in sunny days than cloudy.
Funny thing is that I don’t have those kind of thoughts on “earthbound transcendence” and the like when I make photos. It’s mostly composition and atmosphere that I’m concerned about, haha. That is why it’s great to know a viewer’s impression or feeling when he or she looks at my photos. I know that I’ve done a good job when the viewer feels something. =)
