RHH's photos with the keyword: olympic village

In Explore February 20, 2010, #387, but not picked up by Scout. Thanks to Boshaft for finding it. For Valter. This was photographed from the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver overlooking the Olympic Village. Most of the flags were hanging on the sides of buildings, but the Italian flag was hanging above them all on this huge crane. We speculated that it was there because the last winter Olympics had been in Turin, Italy, or that some of the athletes had been daring enough to climb the crane and hang their flag there. Dennis suggested that perhaps the crane operator was Italian. You may take your pick of explanations.

In Explore February 23, 2010, #101. We spent yesterday afternoon and evening in Vancouver and it was a very profitable time. We saw some of the sights by night, attended the Flickr gathering on Hamilton Street, saw the nightly fireworks and enjoyed someof the excitement and busyness. This picture was taken from the Cambie Street Bridge and shows part of the Olympic Village and the geodosic dome of the Science World building which for the duration of the Olympics is the Russia or Sochi House.

This was taken during the 2010 Winter Olympics when the Science Center was used by the Russians as Sochi House. The boats are patrolling False Creek to monitor access to Sochi House and to the Olympic Village to south. The photo was taken at sunrise from the Cambie Bridge.
