I cloned in a big flag atop one of the World Trade Center towers. I was there in 1999, but they had disappeared by 2001.
Taking macro pictures with an old point-n-shoot camera is really tough, especially when the object is too small.
I tried a dozen of times to photograph this flower, whose diameter is one third inches. Finally and fantastically, the wind was still and the camera got the right focus. Whew!

Looking out at False Creek at the Burrard Bridge, which links South Vancouver with Downtown.
Downtown is built on a peninsular jutting out into the water and surrounded by it on three sides. It has been populated since the 19th century and is now home to numerous skyscrapers and large apartment blocks, as well as being the heart of the city’s business life.
Stanley Park sits on the end of the peninsular and covers more than 1,000 acres, making it larger than Central Park in New York.
Downtown is linked to North Vancouver and South Vancouver by a number of bridges.

Before the European settlers this area must have been a haven of wildlife. It was once a vital source for Native peoples’ food supplies such as sea asparagus, berries, camas, oysters, clams, wild cabbage, and mushrooms. But thanks to the new settlers False Creek became polluted with sewage and toxic effluent from sawmills and other industries. As a result, one nickname for False Creek was “Shit Creek”.
The False Creek area was the industrial heartland of Vancouver through to the 1950s, but that now seems to have been replaced by mainly residential housing. I took this photo from Granville Bridge, Granville Island with its fabulous public market is on the left of the photo.
