With quite a number of excellent threads already devoted to Vancouver and environs why add another - but I guess I could not resist. Taken over the last year and hopefully some of them are interesting - I am trying to improve on composing a shot with limited experience with a mid level digital camera. Sure takes a lot to get picture you hope is unique. If successful I will post some panoramic images.

wow, these are absolutely beautiful photos.

I'm glad you like them, problem with me ( and most photographers no doubt ) is that I'm too critical, so finding a few to post isn't easy!

Vancouver :master:

Such a beautiful metropolis, with so amazing mix between nature and highrises...

Awesome!

lovely pictures!!!

Love it! :cheers:

The natural setting of Vancouver is almost unbeatable. Fantastic.

:):):):):)!!

what a beautiful location for a city

The city of Vancouver and beyond the city, the all area is really very nice, beautiful :)

The lower mainland beyond Vancouver covers quite an area and I hope to try and capture some decent images through the next few months. I find riding a bicycle allows one to see much more. Looking at photographs many of you have taken from around the world helps me to appreciate living here and trying to allow others who have not had the opportunity to see all the different areas, just as I have seen places I will never be able to visit personally. Just hope I can learn more tricks of the trade using the camera.The life of an armchair traveler!

Nice work you should keep posting more! That Burnaby mountain pic is incredible!

Riding in and around china town and Hastings area, taking odd shots and it seems I was stuck on pointing the camera upwards. Much to see but getting a photo that is interesting is elusive more often than not. Hope some of you find them passable and not too monotonous!

This shows tulips being grown in the Fraser River valley of the "lower mainland" of BC...the area is just east of the metro Vancouver area. The valley is rimmed by mountains on both sides:

Thank you for posting some of your images oceanmdx, and don't hesitate to add more. If I can get more creative more will be added. Trying to see if this panorama photo will turn out reasonably well. Oops, back to the drawing board on cropping properly! Scene shows Gore Ave. looking North, the Eastern most part of Chinatown.

The Central Valley Green Way -as Vancouver has named the main pedestrian/cycling route that makes it's way from New Westminster right down to Stanley Park via False Creek. It follows the elevated rapid transit line for a good part of the distance. Not perfect but it does manage to separate most of the vehicle traffic.

Overpass for cyclists in North Burnaby.

Just east of the cycling overpass is a gravel section - around 1 km. long.

Wow, I have not been to Vancouver in a couple of years, but it has grown quite a bit (especially the amount of residential towers downtown)! It's one of the best cities I've ever been to and offers everything. Whistler is also quite nice.

The lower mainland itself is growing rapidly - one of the reasons for the expansion of the freeway, the Golden Ears bridge and the push for projects like the Gateway. I wish it would slow down personally - some areas are losing their charm.

Sunday, May 16

Decided to ride from North Burnaby, where I live, over a hill or two into New Westminster. I managed to take in a good part of the area so hopefully others will enjoy the view, as it were. I will be adding more images as I go.

Highway #1 ( Trans Canada ) from the Caribou Rd. overpass in North Burnaby.
Looking East.

Caribou Road - nothing in a car, but lot's of fun on a bike. It's worse than it looks.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/1331/scene14.jpg



Still in Burnaby, but New Westminster is just down the road, will be approaching an older area called Sapperton. It's also thankfully downhill from here. Typical looking street in this area, actually on top of a hill.
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/7683/scene15.jpg


A short distance down from the above picture leads to this street. The one on the left on the other side is the route I took. The rise in the far distance above it is Surrey - on the other side of the Fraser River.
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/756/scene18.jpg


View of the North side of New Westminster -the dense wooded mound in the center is Queen's Park.
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/7096/scene17.jpg


After a bit of downhill fun I ended up in this area. Columbia St. is less than 1 km. away.
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5978/scene19.jpg

View of the New Westminster cemetery, overlooking the Fraser River. It is divided into two sections, the other part is behind. Actor Raymond Burr and his family are buried here.
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3180/scene16.jpg


This street is next to the cemetery. Down the steep hill is Columbia St. I went down another street off to the right, out of view. In the distance is the Port Mann bridge which connects outlying areas to Vancouver via the No.1 highway, or Trans Canada.

Development of the former Woodlands Institution, a provincial government

a short distance from the former penitentiary grounds. A fairly large redevelopment.
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/769/img37441.jpg

This memorial is not far to the left of the above photo. It was created after the cemetery at Woodlands
was closed in 1996. Over 3,000 individuals died there over the years it was run. Approximately 500 grave markers were recovered and make up the memorial

This is what we find
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7848/img37731.jpg

This is part of the old department store called Woodwards, which closed
after many years as a Vancouver tradition. The building itself was modified and added to.

Moving 5 blocks South down to the intersection of 8th Street and Royal Ave, Columbia St.

over a steeper section of 8th Ave.

Saturday, May 22.

Another day riding West from Burnaby, where I live, through some Vancouver neighborhoods on streets used as designated bicycle routes, mostly W10th, out to U.B.C. (University of British Columbia) where there are some pretty good beaches.It was a pleasant 14-15C, just a bit cool but nice if you do not want to sweat!
