We just spotted this amazing picture of Yaletown on the Internet. But it’s not just pretty! Check out the link below for a higher quality version of the same picture and by zooming you can literally sneak into people’s living-rooms. Check out what it means when someone speaks about Gigapixel Photography! It’s fascinating, freaky and even a bit scary! Take care about what you do in front of your windows…

Vampires wine and dine in Yaletown

Posted in Hot, Lately spotted in Yaletown, Yaletown, photo with tags , , , , , on April 30, 2009 by traveller

You might think vampires stick to a strict blood diet but obviously beer, seafood, wine and steak are also included in their nutrition plan. Staying here in Vancouver to shoot the second movie of the Twilight saga “New Moon” the vampire cast regularly popped into Yaletown and visited several restaurants here. Glowbal Satay & Grill Restaurant, Yaletown Brew Pub and also Rodney’s Oyster Bar hosted the famous Vancouver guests for several times!
Working here in Yaletown every day I still can’t believe that I’ve never been lucky enough to meet them and always ended up reading about their latest visit to Yaletown the next day on the Internet or even in some newspaper! Obviously I did something wrong… because a lot of people really met them here. And of course especially Robert Pattinson caused a huge stir every time someone spotted him.
So imagine my reaction when I was listening to the Beat 94.5 one day hearing DJ Holly Conway chatting away about her encounter with Robert at Rodney’s Oyster Bar (which is just across the street from our office btw!!!!!). Or when they were seen at the Yaletown Brew Pub, where I like to go myself quite frequently with my friends (of course never the right evening!!!!). And after it came out that they used to dine at Glowbal of course they never returned!
So what now? Have a look at pictures of heartthrob Rob shot in Yaletown by some lucky fans instead:

Today I experienced another time that browsing the Internet always affords surprises. I just discovered that Yaletown’s going to be a location for a photography group’s photo shoot. This will be February 21st when astonishing light art will illuminate Yaletown. I can just say that this date is a really good choice to get a picture of Yaletown. See how the Internet connects, brings together and leads people to come to Yaletown! Why don’t you join us on this day as well?Photo Group

Water-henge at David Lam Park

i thought at first this was an interesting little bit of stone water sculpture on the beach in yaletown. It reminds me of stonehenge, and shows that the beachfront had some design thought put into it. Tthen i found out that the structure out in the water to the left, is actually a giant floating laser pen, that moves with the currents and draws. its called ‘brush deluxe’ and its purpose is to invent a new language. zow
