W/NW Pic-O-The-Week #14


Recommended Posts

michael_levy|3, my doctor is visiting Vancouver in the next few weeks. Are there any 'must do's' at the moment? Regards, Arthur

 

Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival: Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival: April 4-April 28, 2019 - Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival

April 27 - May 5: Vancouver Opera festival (Vancouver Opera – 2019 Vancouver Opera Festival)

April 15 - 19th: TED 2019

 

Weather is good right now. A lot depends on your Doctors interests. Van Dusen gardens is a nice botanical garden which is off the tourist beaten track. And she (he) should have late afternoon drinks at Seasons in the Park in Queen Elizabeth Park - good views of Downtown Vancouver.

 

The Museum of Anthropology at UBC is about 20-30 minutes from downtown, but is worth a visit: Home - Museum of Anthropology at UBC

Thanks michael_levy|3. I still think you should exhibit - your shots have have been a deep ethnography of Vancouver. I suspect my doctor (I am dying), does not even have a camera. Prescribed an antibiotic, this last monday, which has not been available in Oz for the last year and a half. Inspires confidence in modern medical science. Lol. Will post photos soon. Thank you again. Regards, Arthur

stric1975, that is a good shot, evocative. You are blessed. Allen Herbert, that second shot of the flowers (don't what they are) is just so good. I remember a line from, regrettably, a Tom Cruise movie: 'you could spend your life searching for the perfect cherry blossom; and it would not be a life wasted'. It's damn good.

So my contributions, from a dinner we had with friends last saturday, together with a crazy last shot of some friends at the pub this last sunday. All with monochrom M, and my go to lens, the trusty voigtlander 75mm.

Just down my drive way a clump of Spyder Lillys keep me busy. . both the flowers & leaves are of interest, and on occasion a bright green South American Geeko. This time it was the flowers with the "new" Kiev-4A / Jupiter-8 combo.818231818_2k19-dp-4-4-DSCF4718ces26bcbm.JPG.2210ab9a8e04405290b4f53142f855c7.JPG UFX100 & Pyrocat HDC. V600 scan. Aloha, Bill
