Slides from my trip to Kerrisdale and Oakridge

Posted by Unknown
By slides I mean digital photos. By trip, I mean a business trip -- going up there to collect bottles, and cans. By "going up there" I mean that to get to the Oakridge/Kerrisdale area from West Broadway Avenue, at Granville Street, you go 32 blocks South, and 150 to 160 metres up. It's some of the highest ground in Vancouver. Getting there means passing through some of the richest neighbourhoods in Vancouver, and when you finally get there, you are in another, ever-so-slightly-less, rich neighbourhood. I started in the late afternoon on Sunday. I didn't make a direct bee-line for Kerrisdale; first I needed to travel due West some, through part of the Arbutus Ridge area, before turning South. The travelogue picks up as I swing back up to Arbutus Street, and King Edward Avenue, to begin my ascent. Click the images to see larger versions. All except the garage GIF.
