SkyTrain

Transit. One of my many obsessions.

Wannabe

Taken from Pier Park, looking up at where the Surrey-bound SkyTrain comes out of the tunnel to head over the bridge.

Stone

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

Underneath

Cycle path following the SkyTrain tracks near 22nd Street.

Big Sky

Let the inner child in me sit at the front of the SkyTrain to admire the view as I traveled west towards Columbia Station.

Suspended

Excavation

Future home of the New West civic centre.

Window View

The mountains looked much more spectacular this morning than this picture conveys. This point between New Westminster and downtown Vancouver has one of the most beautiful views.

Expansive

View from the SkyTrain as it approaches 22nd Street Station. Looking out over the Alex Fraser Bridge, the Fraser River, bits of Queensborough and Surrey, and a whole lot of cloud.

T

While the blue sign slightly jazzes up the solid 30-story wall of grey, the new TransLink signage design leaves me cold (perhaps because stations are a mishmash of the old and new styles).

Vancity

I remember being 12 years old and taking SkyTrain for the first time. I thought it was so cool that the tracks went directly under the buildings.

End of the Line

What happens after the train passes King George SkyTrain Station...

Trio

Here, too. Gracious.

Sentries

But, wait! There's even more!

Overkill?

I now christen thee "Plaza of 88 Sandwich Boards".

Goodness, how anyone could miss an enormous Safeway store is beyond me.

Anti-postcard

More often than not, the North Shore mountains look like this.

Broadcast Break

Oops, I seem to have run out of photos. Will be back next week with more fun from New Westminster.

Until then, here's a movie trailer that shows the top deck of the Front Street Parkade with the SkyTrain bridge in the background at 1:50 and 2:16.

Frosty

Bridging

View down from the SkyTrain platform across Eighth Street.
