Vancouver, Canada from above

Monday, July 21st, 2008

On a recent trip to Edmonton I was fortunate enough to get a few good aerial photos of Vancouver. The city looks so different when you view if from above!

Stanley Park

Stanley Park is a beautiful oasis right next to the downtown. Vancouver has amazing green spaces but also suffers from urban-concrete sprawl like most large cities!

Vancouver downtown

Kitsilano and the westside of Vancouver have beautiful sandy beaches. Here many people still enjoy an urban laid-back lifestyle that made it so popular in the 1970’s. Unfortunately the real estate has skyrocketed making owning a home in this area a challenge.

I came across a wonderful blog about Discovering Iran. We often hear about the negative aspects of this interesting country and I thought I would repost some of her extremely positive qualities! Thanks to Dark Roasted Blend for the original blog post!
