Granville Street Bridge

This would not be the view most people crossing the bridge would photograph first.  The view to the right would take in much more of the mountains.

It looks like an STS (standard tourist shot) except that relatively few tourists would walk across this bridge. The map reader from yesterday is a fluke. You'll just have to take my word for it. This shot is from last week. We've had all kinds of weather since then.

I was going to go into a long harangue about all the expensive white plastic yacht-ettes bobbing at the dock 49 or 50 weeks of the year and how the sum total of that investment applied usefully could probably eliminate world poverty. I opted for a short harangue instead.

The yellow building is Bridges restaurant and pub, a fixture on Granville Island for, approximately, ever. The owner of Bridges doesn't have to settle for a yacht-ette.

Bonus points

My friendly neighbourhood cemetery is two blocks from my apartment. The area is vast, about 100 acres. For you city slickers that is about 10 city blocks by 3 or 4 city blocks, it isn't strictly rectangular. My walks take me through here every few days.

In the blurry distance is downtown. It isn't as far as it appears, I walk there in about 60 to 90 minutes depending on where I'm headed and how much dawdling I do.

Who can guess the name of this cemetery? 1000 bonus points will be awarded to the subscriber with the first correct answer.

The Rules. One answer per household. Employess of Mountain View Cemetery (d&@n!!!), their family, friends, ex-friends, ex-spouses, future spouses, citizens of Vancover, ex-citizens of Vancouver, wannabe citizens of Vancouver and those who wouldn't live here if I paid them, are disqualified.

The Disclaimer. There is not now, never has been, and never will be, a bonus points program on Vancouver Daily Photo by wayne.
