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.
