Cherry blossoms Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog
Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").
It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!
The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

The streets were shining, low lingering clouds reflected the city lights and I kept stepping into puddles.
The calendar might not agree, but spring has already sneaked up on us! I had planned a bike excursion to Horseshoe Bay for today, hoping that it wouldn’t rain too much. But on my way to Stanley Park I came upon a street gloriously lined with cherry blossoms. And then the sun came out. I just couldn’t leave the city behind me, that’s how much I love it…
Instead I took a long ride along the waterfront, followed the seawall, cruised through the park’s forest, climbed to Prospect Point, zoomed down to the beaches, left the water for a while to venture into the West End, then back to English Bay, crossed the Burrard Street bridge, headed west for a while, came back and explored False Creek, passed the three bridges, went up the hill to 14th Avenue and headed to Commercial Drive where I had a War at Belgian Fries, before going back home…
Vancouverites were out celebrating a beautiful Saturday and the coming of spring. Cherry blossoms were everywhere, pink and white. Harmony blanketed the city. It always does. Here are a few snapshots.

« WOW - you sure can make those night lights in a cool rainy city look attractive.

Are the green lights in the stairwell (pic4) and the purple lights real or imaginary (ie enhanced)? »
« Thanks! And all the lights were as is, I didn’t enhance anything even though I sometimes do...

« Great work with the lights. As an aspiring photographer, I am in awe of your ability to control the exposure to make your shot come out just right. Great work. I’m jealous. »
