In, Out, About
After a morning of snow, the sun came out and melted most of it. I took a late afternoon walk in the crisp, cool, sunny weather and ended up back at the high school. This is the door to the Pearson wing of the high school (name after former prime minister of Canada, Lester B Pearson, I assume).

Cosy
Two of my favourite little houses. Thankfully, residents of New Westminster are more fond of restoring older homes than knocking them down to build box-like behemoths as is popular in Vancouver and Richmond. The home on the left is a B&B, and at night that have a twee display of Christmas lights in the front garden: elves, peppermint sticks, reindeer...

Nemesis
In an area of concrete tower blocks, this innocuous looking engine is the downfall for anyone who is a light sleeper. The area around the quay is a railyard, with trains making noise at all hours of the day...and night.

Standout
This very trendy green may look a bit dated in a few years. No matter, it's eyecatching now and that's what counts.

Ivy
Another sign mentioning a sister city of New Westminster, this time down at the Quay. Soon the sign may be no more, as the omnipresent English Ivy appears to be taking over.

Wide Angle
A question from Raskolniikov made me realize that the Oh, Buoy! photo from a few days ago was out of context if you've never seen the New West Quay. This photo should clear things up somewhat.
This is an overhead view of the quay, from the walkway over the railway. The Tin Soldier is to the left, there's the buoy again, the Pilot House boat which I have also posted photos of previously, and, in the distance, a real tug pulling a barge full of gravel down the Fraser River. Every time I walk over to the quay, a similar view greets me (sometimes cloudy, sometimes without the tug/barge combo).
