    View from our balcony

    My wife snapped this rather good picture from our balcony, I was most impressed. Our camera is not that great but sometimes we snap some awesome pics.

    Wow, awesome photograph there. If it were slightly bigger, I'd set it as my wallpaper.

    I think he may have been using a touch of sarcasm.

    It sure is Vancouver guys and its a really great view, which my wife and I will miss. We are currently renting this apartment but plan on buying oiur own soon, which I doubt will have this kind of view.
    We hired a couple of bikes today and cycled to an area we have not visited before, the views of downtown and the bay were amazing, guess what, we forgot the camera.
    Here is a daytime view from our balcony.

    Vancouver is just a stunning place, it'd be hard to take a picture there of something that doesn't look beautiful.

    Here's one my sister took whilst we were in Vancouver, autumn 2002.

    If I had that view I'd throw the TV away and just look out the windows, great pic.

    I've eaten in that restaurant! 12 years ago! Lovely city, but I was a bit young to enjoy it properly.

    Great snapshot.

    I used to rent an apartment on the top of shooters hill in SE London, had the best view of London, but Balcony was on the other side! Looked into some trees and the front of someone elses house! Had to move anyway, now own a ground floor apartment with garden - I might miss the view, but a garden is so much better, bbq's ftw!
