So all of you must know by now that Vancouver, Canada is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics. If you didn’t know that, go back under your rock. 
Anyway, there’s a ton of people in this city now, and getting out for photo walks has become increasingly more what’s the word, not “difficult”, but “challenging”, I guess. The crowds, especially around the venues, exhibits, and transit stations are nuts. I’ve never seen it like this in the city. It’s awesome, actually, and I’m totally enjoying it. Lot’s of people from lots of different countries, all decked out in their colours, flags, hats, etc. It’s a really cool vibe here right now. Lovin’ it.
I haven’t had too much of an opportunity to get out and snap some photos yet, but I will, probably next week, some evening.
I did, however, manage to get out the other night and shoot some shots in Gastown, Vancouver, as well as a few shots of the crowds down near the waterfront area of the city. That’s where the Olympic Cauldron is near, hence the massive crowds of people.
I might try and get a few photos of the cauldron next week, if I can stand the 3 hour line ups…lol. Stay tuned.
Found this awesome Youtube clip of what Vancouver sounded like when Sidney Crosby scored in overtime, giving Canada the Gold medal in Hockey at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Watch the whole thing, or fast forward to about 1:15. Gives me goosebumps.
