Downtown Vancouver

As I've been so slack, thought I should clear the backlog and upload a few assorted pics. Had the first Vancouver snow, with a 4am walk to the park with Sovereign the Samoyed, and cats in tow. No considerable snow yet or since — just a light dust here and there. We had temperatures of 8°/14° C one day, then -9°/0° the next which I find rather peculiar. A hop, skip and a jump away in Calgary they're having lows of -25°C, so there is definitely snow to be had. Over a few occasions I've essentially covered all of Downtown Vancouver on foot, and all of the photos below were taken along the way. Visited the Granville Island Brewery with my drinking companion Chase, and a great effort went into sampling each of the brews on tap following breakfast which included a litre of Gelato. I've also been to see John Wick at the local picture theatre, which was everything it needed to be, as well as Interstellar which was excellent as expected — another Nolan film with a physics discussion to follow on the trip home, as well as a beautiful Hanz Zimmer score. Favourite movie I've seen though in a while was Boyhood, which (along with 6 other films) I saw on the 14 hour flight here from Sydney.
