Vancouver, BC - from a different angle!

Yes, there is more to Vancouver than Queen Elizabeth Park, which I do seem to go on about.

So without further ado I give you a taste of Vancouver from a different angle.

This short movie is of Vancouver’s West End and surrounding area - I took the pictures and movie images, that make up this film, from Vanier Park, site of the Maritime Museum and home to some beautiful, serene waterfront.

Following is my first attempt at movie making - I am having fun working with iMovie, a feature built into my Mac.

Thank you for following, for commenting, for being out there and in here.

Vancouver Walkabout - Queen Elizabeth Park

Friday was a glorious day - not quite cold enough to bring out the winter coats, but yet there was a slight bite to the air when walking out of reach of the sun.

I decided to take a day away from the Lost and Found and enjoy a little time with my mom.

One of my favourite dining spots in Vancouver is Seasons in the Park, located at the top of Queen Elizabeth Park where the view is spectacular! 

We started our outing with lunch (the Omelette) and then mom went in the Conservatory as she had not been in quite a while. (more photos of the Conservatory here)

I enjoyed a small walk-about and took some photos - just for you!

Click on any photo to enlarge and have a closer look!

Taken from the patio at Seasons, as we headed outdoors.

Looking back toward the patio - I took the first photo from the area behind the tree.

Seasons Restaurant, overlooking the small quarry garden.

The bronze photographer!

In this photo, you see the Lions - the two peaks in the distance.

In this photo, you see Grouse Mountain, a popular skiing and hiking destination (for locals and tourists alike).
This picture sits to the right of the one above.
Also, take a look at our new stadium - it looks like a crown - in the centre of the photo! Can you see it?

A little bridge leading to the large quarry garden.

Same little bridge...from a different angle.

Isobel, Anna and Karen work close by and enjoy a lunchtime stroll!

A sentinel of trees keep watch over the large quarry garden.

I hope you have enjoyed this pictorial walk-about - if you are thinking of heading to Vancouver this is a must stop on your travels!

Cheers,
