How the Olympic Athletes Will See Vancouver
During the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the athletes village will be down at southeast False Creek.
If you haven’t been by there in a while, its worth a stroll along the water (start at Science World) where you’ll see the development from that aspect.
Yesterday I toured the area and got a bird’s eye view from the top of one of the buildings. (click this image for a larger version, or see this and another on Flickr)
This panorama is a series of six images shot handheld with a Nikon D70 and stitched using PTGui Pro.
More information on this whole area on the City of Vancouver’s website, Southeast False Creek.

Meet Cam MacDonald, Urban Farmer
Cam MacDonald is a new breed of farmer.
He has no land, and his farm is scattered around the city of Vancouver.
Cam is practising urban agriculture, using yards donated by people he and his partners have met, people who are interested in converting lawns into food producing gardens. No tractor or gas-spewing farm machinery here; Cam zips between his plots on an electric scooter.
He’s the subject of the latest podcast in a series I’m producing with writers Spring Gillard and David Tracey called Can Urban Agriculture Save the World ?
