Olympic Fever Downtown

So I’m a bit late in posting these, but here are some photos Susannah and I took of the Vancouver Downtown area during the Olympics. The first few were taken early on, as we explored the between Russia House and David Lam Park before heading into Festive Yaletown.

These next shots were as we wandered the other end of Downtown Vancouver, along Waterfront to view the Olympic Flame. Obviously we weren’t alone with that idea…..it was packed!

Here are a couple of different shots of the Olympic Flame – this was before the fence was moved.

This last set is of the lights and decorations on Robson St and Granville St, which came alive during the Olympics and was packed with foot traffic as people celebrated together. It was so cool to see throngs of happy people out and about, no matter what the weather!

It was so awesome to see and feel the Olympic spirit!

Next for us is the Paralympics which start on Friday March 12 and which we will actually be shooting part of. Can’t wait!

    Great photos you two! I even got goosebumps a couple of times. Seriously. I love the one of the flame through the camera’s screen. Brilliant. I heard the atmosphere in Vancouver was incredible. Sad to have missed it actually.
