Locals know what I’m talking about when I described days that are so clear that you can spot each individual evergreen on the local mountains. Looking North, the Eye of the Wind turns on Grouse while the SkyRide ascends, packed with visitors. It’s the kind of view that makes you pull out your phone to [...]

I only spent a few days in Vancouver this week as I took a whirlwind trip to Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, Quebec (which will be the topic of a forthcoming post). However, local photographers have been busy snapping shots and adding them to the Miss604 Flickr Pool. The snow has disappeared but our city still shines, whether it’s [...]

Once again, National Geographic has named Vancouver one of the Top Beach Cities in the World.

This is the very last “From the Miss604 Flickr Pool” roundup that I will compile this year, ahead of any year-end [...]

The leaves have left their branches and it’s most definitely becoming toque weather. November has come and gone as quickly as the powerful gusts of wind it brought in from our shores. We had frost, snow, power outages, a civic election, a Grey Cup win, and the start of many festive markets and fairs. The [...]

Our clocks fell back last week as the temperature dropped. Heading into holiday season the clouds are crowding over the West Coast like shoppers at a Black Friday sale. It’s mid-November and although the days are dark, the photos that have been added to the Miss604 Flickr Pool this week are sure to brighten your [...]
