Moment

A Wish

Sit

Loops

Stone

Exploring the bike trails along the SkyTrain led me to this park with its enormous dining table and chairs.

Tardis?

In honour of a certain Mancunian's birthday, a little touch of Britain here in New Westminster.

Repose

Quiet moment on a sunny afternoon.

Waiting

Street scene.

Waiting

At 22nd Street SkyTrain Station waiting for the bus. The SkyTrain is atop the concrete pillar to the left.

Sentries

On guard at many street corners are a pair of these: post box and relay box. The relay box is where the trucks leave the next mailbag of post for the posties to pick up mid-route. The post boxes have one of two paint jobs: the maple leaf design seen here, or one covered in the first half of various post codes from across the country. I haven't yet found one of those in New West.

Pit Stop

A place to pause on this, the day of rest.

Change

There's been a big push lately to replace all of the old bus shelters with new ones. Having stood under both kinds, neither is really good at preventing one from getting soaking wet in strong rain. Really, they're just there for the advertising space.

Skins

...they aren't just for iPods, you know. Even traffic standards / transformer boxes here in town are covered with skins such as this one. Some have pictures of the town, some have historical photos, some are pictures of plants...

Uptown

These flags appeared relatively recently, perhaps over the last couple weeks. Knowing me, however, they've probably been around longer and only last week did I look up far enough to notice them.

First Snow

The town square clock - posted last Saturday - and how it looks this Saturday.

Due to the effects of La Nina (the year following an El Nino year), we are - apparently - due for lots of snow and colder temperatures than typical. Last night was the first major storm: wind, rain, then snow. Today the air was crisp with the arctic air still lingering.

Tick tock

The new-ish town square clock near Moody Park, in today's grey autumn weather.

On yer bike!

Or...off, since this is where you'd lock up your two-wheeler along Columbia Street.
