Yesterday the weather seemed fine at home, sunny and relatively warm so decided to throw the bike on the rack and head downtown. The target was Stanley Park, one of Vancouver's popular attractions.
As I headed north the skies darkened, though it didn't look like rain.
Beached the car at the Maritime museum in Kitsilano to avoid finding a space in the park, and was glad I wore long sleeves...
Need to cross the old Burrard Street bridge to get to downtown...
Took some trails in the park that I had not traversed before...
The old hollow tree...
View from Prospect Point looking at the North Shore with Lion's Gate Bridge on the right...
A popular tourist activity...
The Rowing Club where my band played a gig years ago...
The "Seawall" is a pedestrian and cycling path that circumnavigates the entire park...
Siwash Rock is the stuff of Squamish Nation legend...
A horde of cyclists at 3rd Beach. Many hours of my misspent youth spent here...
Heading back through downtown apartment area...
So glad I packed an extra long sleeve layer as it was quite cool. Might have been the last ride for fingerless gloves. Great relaxing/scenic day though!
