3 March 2017 — Just a selection of symbols from my own list-to-date, you understand. Images that snag my Toronto eyes; make me exclaim, with delight, “Ohhh, that is so Vancouver!”
Vancouver is trees.
Moss on tree trunks, in the rain …
palm trees, out there alive-alive-0 in mid-winter …
fir trees on industrial wall murals …
and tree stump art.
Vancouver is people.
First Nations …
Asian …
and everyone.
Vancouver is pop-up community gardens, in boxes that can move on to the next site …
and clouds on mountains …
and clouds all over the sky.
Vancouver is Cloud City …
and Rain City …
and Every Weather City.
With a scoop of ice cream!

/ 3 March 2017I’m always excited to see one of your posts! I know there’s always going to be a great variety of photos (including street art, which I always love), as well as a few quirky finds. I enjoyed this post as always. (And now I’m hungry for some ice cream!)

/ 4 March 2017A lovely way to summarise a city. Maybe I’ll steal the approach to encapsulate Warsaw as I pack up my year here. May I?
icelandpenny
/ 4 March 2017But of course! I’d be honoured. What a daunting — daunting, poignant, loving — project, to encapsulate the year of such intense experience. Enjoy it.
