The Olympic Torch relay passed right by the studio today! We had the TV on and they were talking about the final route Downtown and we realised it would pass literally right outside our building on East 2nd. Of course we went out to get some shots.
Here’s runner #117, Bob Lenarduzzi, Vancouver Whitecaps Alumni waiting to receive the flame….
This is runner #116, Jacob Emerson from Maple Ridge, coming along East 2nd….
The first pass over….
I ran with my camera, following the action for the next 300m and managed to catch the next pass over to runner #118, Luis Passaglia, BC Lions Alumni….
It was totally awesome to watch even just a little part of the relay. Now I gotta go – time to watch the opening ceremony!
How very cool to have that happen right outside your door! Love the images
Wow how cool to have the flame running past your home! Some great shots there sis. I am excited for you living in the city of the winter Olympics 2010.
