Things to do in Vancouver #1

Here are some pictures I’ve taken every now and then in the past month

Walking towards the bus stop at school:

Helped my buddy light up some candles on the beach before valentines day:

Recently, I went to Cypress Mountain for snowboarding. The weather was amazing. Cars were parked far far away but it was a great day. Tons of fresh powder on the mountain.

Waiting for the bus at a bus stop:

Was jogging at Stanley Park recently. The weather was perfect and it’ll only get better for the next little while. There were tons of people hiking, walking, biking, and jogging already. Most of the parking spots were full by 11 am! Come early if you want parking spots!

Buying Pizza at a local strip mall for the 43rd SuperBowl Steelers vs. Cardinals. I was cheering for the Cardinals. That 100 yard return was pretty darn amazing!

GVRD Beaches

The new season has come and summer is finally here.

For those who like beaches these pictures are teasers:

In the background, you may notice a cruise ship. During the summer time in Vancouver, several cruise ships make their journey from Canada Place to Alaska for their Arctic tours. For more information on Alaskan tours, check it out here.

These pictures are taken at Ambleside beach in West Vancouver.

Pictures of Vancouver

I find myself very busy lately with studying of midterm and trying to balance my social life at the same time. Some people say men are bad at mult-tasking and I am actually starting to believe that it is true.

Over the past few days, I been working on a picture slideshow of all the best photos that I took in the past year. I would love to share this with everyone. This video also includes some of the recent picture I took around downtown Vancouver. Please visit my flickr page for additional photos @ www.flickr.com/yangsphotography/
