Clouds willing, and aside from today's fog slumbering on False Creek, a scene very much like this happens every morning at this spot looking north down South Granville Street.
The camera's not catching it at all -- the distant North Shore slope dripping molten gold with the rising sun; the flashes and sparkles on the buildings downtown -- you need at least $600-worth of camera. I saw it just fine with my own two eyes; I just can't show it to you -- you'll have to take my word.
After a repetitive hundred years or so, Vancouverites no longer regularly fall down in dumb amazement at all the amazing stuff nature throws at them; someone has to focus on the work at hand -- keep the trains running on time.
Luckily there are homeless people. It was a duo of them who insisted I check out the view. They couldn't get enough of it -- like they'd never seen it before or might never see it again.
Come to think of it that's a pretty good way to look at things. Click the images to enlarge them.
