The Waterfall Building, Vancouver

For a moment, I thought I was not in Vancouver.

Photo Walk 19 – Sun Yat-Sen Park and Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver

I have been to a Japanese Garden when I was visiting Tokyo.  This time, I visited a Chinese Garden in Vancouver.  The Sun Yat-Sen Park and Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden are two parts of the same facility in the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver in China Town.  The Park is free for admission.  The Classical Chinese Garden costs $10 per admission.

Let me take you for a tour.

The Oval is where some of the Olympic Games will be held next year in Vancouver.

Photo Walk 13 – Downtown Vancouver in Autumn

Was going to work on the weekend and on the way to find parking, I saw these autumn leaves being blown off the maple trees.  Couldn’t help to stop the car and take some photos.

Downtown Vancouver in Autum by you.

If you look closely, you will see leaves in mid air and the leaves on the branches are a bit blurry.  It was a windy day. Continue reading
