Any city that spruces up a disused crane just so I'll have something to photograph is A-OK in my books.

This is Waterfront Park in North Van, formerly the site of Burrard Shipyard and Burrard Dry Dock.
I can't even remember how I took this shot, the crane is about 50' off the ground.
Long lens I guess.

What more ...

… could anyone ask? 
Orange cranes plus a rainbow.

Band On The Run

It's Canada Day.

I knew this banner shot would come in handy when I took it months ago.

 

Last Sunday The Carnival Band (at least the hardy souls) got up very early to play at a spot along the route of the ScotiaBank Half Marathon. 

Cory briefly joined the runners.

Old War Horse

I had a brief chat with the superintendent on this job. He told me this three-man pile driving crew were  some of the hardest working guys he'd worked with.

Cherry Blossoms ...

… with crane.

Snow Capped Mountains ...

… with crane. 
 It would be natural to wonder what exactly is happening here.

Stay tuned. 
Don't touch that dial!
Same time, same station … 

The only thing better ...

… than a crane pic is a crane pic plus reflection.

Cracker Box

I'm never inspired when I watch these places going up. This place may be fine but Vancouver has had a disastrous record of building leaky condos.

Sidewalk Superintendant

Taken through the chainlink at the same locale as the crane shot from a few days ago.
