A Grand View by bkbinthecity

A Grand View

Well the weather took a surprising turn for the better and the sun was shining and we had a nice blue sky. So I did get in a walk. Not quite the one I had hope for but it was nice anyways. This shot is taken from the outdoor observation deck of out Convention Centre.The flags on display include the Canadian Flag along with all of the flags from the provinces and territories. The bridge is the Low Level Bridge which was built in 1900.
Double digits expected this week for the weather so most of the snow will most likely be gone
Stunning POV! Just perfection.

Nice view with the flags. Well, a short lived dusting of snow is better than a big one I guess!
March 25th, 2012  
Great view.
March 25th, 2012  
I like how you captured the flags blowing! I'm curous about the order of the flags, I thought they would be east to west but there don't appear to be any order to them.
March 25th, 2012  
@allred No for some reason they did not put them in order. I am not sure why
March 25th, 2012

@summerfield Thans. I was hoping all the flags would be flying but they just did not want to co-operate with me

Love your positive attitude. We had sleeveless weather here yesterday and you have snow on the ground. Funny how a little sun can just brighten up a day!
March 25th, 2012  
Neat shot! Love the flags all waving in the breeze. I have been wanting to take a pic of flags. Maybe you should tag it for the theme:

Great view of the city. The flag really add color. I'm amazed you've still had single digit temps. We're up in the 80's F. Here. Winter is long gone.
March 25th, 2012  
Great composition! Like the blue tones of the scene with the pop of colour from the row of flags.
March 25th, 2012  
I love the colors of the flags and how quiet the colors in the background are! Nice view...
March 25th, 2012

@grannysue Thanks for the comment and info on the theme
March 25th, 2012  
@swguevin That is very true
March 25th, 2012  
Love the contrast of the bright colours of the flags compared with the muted tones of the city scene
March 25th, 2012  
I agree, great contrast between the muted blues in the city scene and the bright colours of the flags. I also like the curves in the river and am wondering what's around the next bend...
March 26th, 2012  
You are right, it is a grand view. It's really nice there.
March 26th, 2012

Nice that the flags ad some colour to the day and your picture.
March 26th, 2012  
Nice capture. I like the splash of color that the flags add to the foreground.
March 26th, 2012  
Nice lines with the flags in front, skyline softened in the back.
March 26th, 2012  
@debsphotos The flags are what caught my eye

@cmuir1963 Thank you Cindy
March 27th, 2012  
@maaikel The flags really make the photo
March 27th, 2012  
This is a really interesting photo with all of those flags. I guess I never thought about the provinces and territories having their own flags before. Look what you taught me today. ;)
March 31st, 2012  
Fabulous POV! Got me following and a fav!
