16 for 16: 4th consecutive Canada Day, Vancouver (2016)
Canada Day, 1 July 2016.
For the 4th consecutive year, I’m out and about on the Canadian national holiday for a few hours to photograph people and surroundings in my birthcity of Vancouver. Unlike past years, I’ve stayed entirely within the vicinity of Canada Place and the city’s Convention Centre. For this 2016 edition, here are 16 shots with an abundance of red and white. Enjoy!

1. Two pointed at the Gastown Steam Clock

2. “Canada D’eh!”

3. Two and two

4. At the Global-TV booth

5. Two sets of smiles

6. Under the curve

7. Red-and-white antennae

8. Maple-leaf jersey

9. Two cameras

10. Two on the move

11. A call

12. Twos under the (Olympic) cauldron

13. Wearing the flag

14. Two of Vancouver’s finest

15. Picture, one

16. Picture, two
Oh Canada (eh)

That’s because nothing happens in Vancouver. 😁
(… unless the Canucks lose game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, which is when the ogres and trolls come out from under their crapholes …)

Hi, Tracey. It’s wholly reassuring to see how proud people are of the country which obviously comes out with the appearance of red and white in great abundance. I hope everybody holds onto that for the remaining days, every day in the year! 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and for your comment!

Thanks for your comment, Tony and Petula. It’s fun to contrast the “sea” of red-and-white with all the different people out and about on Canada Day. It’s also a great testament to the kind of Canada people want to create. Thanks again for stopping by!
