Olympic Fever Downtown

Friday, March 5th, 2010

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!

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!

Olympic Torch Relay

Friday, February 12th, 2010

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.
