Vancouver 2010 Olympic Maps! With More Cowbell!

On the eve of the Opening Ceremonies here in Vancouver, I’ve seen a plethora of maps and guides to the City and Whistler. It’s a lot of info to take in so I’m going to try and post of the more interesting stuff I’ll be following in the days and weeks ahead. One of the guys from work was a torch runner in Aldergrove (Langley) and brought his torch to work. Needless to say, I was happy to hold it and get into the Olympic spirit!

Off-Topic but Blogging for a Great Photo.

I've always had a avid hobby of photography but hardly get around to recommending anyone.... until now.

Local Vancouver Photographer and blogger, Duane Storey is giving away 8×12 prints of his beautiful photography to the first 20 people who post about his new photo blog.

So I'm putting in my 2 cents for a copy of this fabulous shot of Kitsilano Pool in Vancouver. The lighting he gets from his shots are amazing. I can only wish to replicate something close to that with my film SLR one day.


If you were in town during the Annual URISA Conference this summer and want a great photo to remind you of the City, I'd also recommend this one of the Burrard Street Bridge.
