Vancouver Photos of the Week: Rainbows

March 28th, 2013 @ 10:31am by Rebecca Bollwitt

Rainy days are just a part of living in Vancouver and when the sun shines for a few days in a row — revealing lush, green, natural views — we all remember its benefits. In fact you could almost say that the best part of Vancouver is all the rain because it makes us appreciate [...]
