Vancouver Snow

Not a particularly well-composed or creative shot, but this is the weather today in Vancouver.

This is the intersection of W. Cordova St. and Thurlow St., just up from the convention centre. Most of what's been falling is thick wet sleety snow, and it's blowing hard -- it was really quite hard walking the three blocks to here, with the slush on the pavements and the snow blowing in your eyes!

It's great having a weatherproof camera and lens, but that doesn't help when snow lands on the front element!

Fast shutter speed used to freeze the flakes. Worth viewing large!

And a very nice car too. ;)

Great shot. You did a great job capturing the flakes. We're on the first ferry out today right now heading to Vancouver...crazy weather!!

[Frank Hymus]

Ha! I know what you mean about ugly weather. I think the angles, this way and that, capture that ambivalent feeling very well.

[Cathy]

The streets look very slushy according to all the tire tracks... hope that cute little car doesn't spin out of control!

[Liane]

great snow shot! Drive safely! I remember when I did my grad school in Vancouver they werent so good at clearing streets.

[Cameron Knowlton]

Ick. Touch wood, Victoria got spared. Though I heard ferries got cancelled. Glad you made it on, @kwind.

[Karen]

Haha...I thought you had done it in B&W. I like your pov it kind of makes you feel a little dizzy.

[Nicole]

[Michelle]

[Kate Wan]

Great POV - looks a little chaotic.

[Robyn]

I love the perspective - I feel like I'm there - cool scene. And to capture all that snow in the air is great. Fav.
