It all starts!!! very exciting.
The opening ceremonies were fantastic! I loved every minute of it. I was especially fond of the East Coast part of the program they did with all the fiddles and crazy excitement!
And then....having 'the great one' actually light the cauldron and get the games going?!! that was brilliant :)

Here is a pic of the lit Cauldron.

Let the games begin!

......more pics to come.....

One more day until the madness starts....

I took this photo down on Granville street. The city has a few blocks of the street that is closed off to traffic, and they have sculptures & art displayed. And they have huge cut outs you can get in to make it look like your an Olympic athlete, it is halarious.

I liked this piece especially. Im not sure why, but it was my fav.
Here's the pic.

2 Days to go!!!!!
Woohoo!

This city is so alive with excitement and people from all over the world, and the games haven't even officially started yet! It is going to be crazy!
This is a pic of the Olympic clock that was put in Vancouver awhile ago to count down to the games. It lives in front of the Art gallery, which is going to be the BC house for the pavilion.

GO CANADA GO!

Turns out I caught a great pic.

I really like this one. just random.

Monday...blah.
Back to the gym for me. And on my way to my gym, I always pass this school.
There is colorful graffiti, thought I would take a pic of it.
Not sure if the kids did it or not. *shrug*

Didn't get a shot until late today, on my way home from work.

This is a shot of the city, I tried to blur it on purpose because I like the look of blurred lights/city lights. It didn't work out as to what I wanted. I hope to learn sometime how to take a better pic of 'night time' city.
I would like to make the lights look like a 'streaking' pattern. oh well, someday when I take my photography course perhaps!

Saturday. Day @ work....

It is funny what you can find to take a pic of when you are just out walking around....
I found these discarded, skeleton chairs out in the alley, by the building we are working in.
I like the look of how they were stacked.

Oh the simple things in life :)
