A View of the Olympic Host City 2010

February 16th, 2010 by monnibo | Out & About, Photos / Videos

It’s hard to describe and/or summarize the chaos going on here. Everyone is wearing Canada gear and I can’t tell who is a tourist unless they’re wearing a different country’s gear. Here are some photos and links I like. For all my photos, view my Vancouver Olympics 2010 collection on Flickr.

Vancouver Biennale art installation “Cabeza Vainilla, Cabeza ordoba, Cabeza Chiapas” by Mexican artist Javier Marin


The Olympic Cauldron! ….. wait a minute….. what’s that fence?


Let’s try that again (with some zoom)…. The Olympic Flame!

    Beautiful. Inspiring. Thank you for sharing your city with the world. I get grumpy sharing my little burg with the (UVA) students, so I can only imagine…

    …and I hear they moved the fence closer to the flame last night, and did something so it is easier to get a fenceless shot…

    Thanks for the photos. Until I saw it for myself, I had no idea how far out that fence was, and now I can understand the outcry a bit better.

    Thanks for sharing the photos! The one thing I like the best out of all this (aside from all the stuff going on in the city every night) is all of the new signage!

    Sadly, my plans to get to the olympics were derailed by my husband’s layoff. Those are great pictures and I can live vicariously through them. I’m going to check out your flickr album
