Stanley Park Vancouver Ride and Photographs

Last day of June ride around Stanley Park. Some cool stacked rocks in the water, a Canadian Navy ship in the harbour with seaplanes and the new convention center in the foreground, Lions Gate Bridge at sunset and my bike with a huge crane in the background.

See you tomorrow. Happy Canada Day.

Start of summer in Vancity

Perfect lazy Sunday with a Jazz Festival event @ David Lam park followed by beers and a sunset @ Kits Beach. Rocking the 8 pack Kokanee with the BMX action all weekend.

Fuse gets Krazy @ Van Art Gallery

The monthly Fuse party @ the VAG went down this Friday. Loads of people, great art and this really cool poster that I tried to buy but they were sold out. For some reason they only had 4 of these available for sale in the gift shop (only $595 per poster.)
