Vancouver has often been voted the friendliest, nicest, and greenest City in the World. And frankly I couldn’t agree more. Over the years I have visited many Canadian cities, the big ones like Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Calgary, and the ‘smaller’ ones like Edmonton, or the isolated ones like Whitehorse. Yet, the space, the ‘greenness’, the tranquillity and friendliness of Vancouver, are the things I like the most. What a beautiful City. If you ever get the chance, do visit this gorgeous city by the ocean.

Vancouver, Strait of Georgia’s sea of green
Vancouver, Stanley Park and Lions Gate
Vancouver, Canada Place and Pacific Mall
Vancouver, my lifelong beautiful date.

Vancouver, Capilano, Cliff walk and Grouse
Vancouver, you always be my ‘spouse’
Vancouver, Granville’s food strip
Vancouver, I am always in your grip.

Vancouver, Sea Otters and Racoons
Vancouver, Canucks, Lions and Whitecaps
Vancouver, blue skies and bright summer moons
Vancouver, old beer and afternoon naps.

Vancouver, indigenous people’s status
Vancouver, multi culture, native art
Vancouver, pearl by the Ocean
Vancouver, always in my heart.
