Vancouver Cityscapes from Granville and Burrard Bridges

The clouds changed constantly as the cold wind blew in gusts.  Several times I clutched a pillar, trying to hold the camera still on the wind-swept bridge.  On days like this, Vancouver can be exceptionally beautiful as the sun strikes one group of buildings, and then another, but never all of them at the same time.  (All but the final photo were taken from the Granville Bridge.)

December's snow viewed from inside a warm Vancouver home

Since Vancouver's city fathers have never seen fit to clear our residential roads--ever, only four-wheel drive vehicles should be out and about this morning. It is therefore a perfect day for remaining inside, enjoying the 'winter wonderland' from the comfort of a heated home. I photographed these snow scenes through our windows because this is how I so often see Vancouver's snow, from the comfort of my desk, or while washing dishes or preparing food, or while eating, reading or working at the computer. Walking in the snow is also wonderful, but I thought this perspective was worth a try.
