Canuck Craziness

If this is what the street is like after the Vancouver Canucks win the Western Conference and advance to the Final, I can't wait to see what it'll be like when they win the Stanley Cup! I'd better go find an air horn now. Store shelves throughout the city will probably be empty of any sort of noise makers pretty soon.

Lifesize Architectural Scale Model

You know those miniature scale models of cityscapes that architects create in order to help them sell a building project? Well, this isn't one of those despite it looking like one... to me anyhow. I took this photo of the actual city through the front windshield while crossing over False Creek in Vancouver. Now if only I could figure out how to make photos of money look real enough to use to buy one of the condo units pictured here!

A Bottleneck Sans Bottles

I'm glad I was just passing by Richmond instead of trying to get into it like the rest of these people.

Bust a Move



It can be very boring at the bus stop. This soon-to-be bus passenger passed the time by busting some moves while waiting for the bus to arrive.

Jeep Offroad Capabilities

The tow truck driver who transported this guy's vehicle to the local repair shop in Langley said you'd never believe it, but guess how the front tire ended up like that? He drove over a pothole. Any pothole that can snap a wheel and the front suspension is no pothole. That's more like an abyss in the road, and most of us don't have The Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee to jump such road hazards.

Bridge to the New Year

A New Year is not complete without revellers. The three beavers living under this boardwalk saw lots of sketchy revelling action on New Year's Eve by way of patrons returning home from the local pub.
