Heaven

Burger Heaven. The fruit & veg stand. Yum.

Sunflower Corner

Urban gardening in a disused spot next to the best burger joint in town.

(B)Lock

A couple of old buildings sitting at the corner of Royal and 10th. They've been well-scaffolded for a while now, so hopefully with spring on its way they'll look much spiffier soon. This block is apparently the oldest standing apartment block in town, according to one source. The heritage house at right was relocated from another site, and is being converted into smaller apartments.

Shocking

The local substation has this awesome graphic on its door.

Lock

Another decorative utility box, this time with the old Telford Lock building as backdrop.

T-Junction

Standing halfway up the stairs leading over the railway tracks to the Quay, looking northward-ish up 8th Street from the junction with Columbia Street. The short buildings at left and right are soon to be demolished and replaced with up to 8-storey structures of...who knows what. The green-roof at left is the platform for SkyTrain. Douglas College off to the right. Hot dog vendor under the umbrellas. Man eating hot dog near the circular stage. Just another typical sunny weekend day in New West (taken last weekend, when there was no rain or snow, that is).

Overhang

Some amazing trees grow around here, something about living in temperate rainforest methinks! Anyone under 180cm in height can walk along the sidewalk under this tree without ducking.

Rex

At the top of the steep bi-level hill of yesterday's post is this rather retro looking corner shop. You can see just off to the right how steep the hill is heading down the other direction. This is sort of the "corner" of the steep hill, if you catch my drift.

Watching You

Windows on the side of the Jehovah's Witness building on 10th.
