RHH's photos with the keyword: olympic cauldron

In Explore February 16, 2010, #38. Had a big day yesterday. For those who know Vancouver, we walked from near Vancouver General Hospital where my daughter has her apartment across the Granville Street bridge and along the waterfront all the way around Stanley Park to the Olympic cauldron on the downtown waterfront and then back through town and across the Cambie Bridge to her apartment. It was a disappointment to find that the cauldron is surrounded by a cheap and ugly eight-foot-high chain-link fence which makes it very difficult even to get pictures - this was taken through the fence late in the afternoon. Another, better, picture taken by my son, Edward can be found at this location: www.flickr.com/photos/8686966@N02/4365840963/

In Explore February 19, 2010, #117. Taken from Stanley Park, this photo shows the Vancouver waterfront with the Olympic Cauldron burning in the background. Thanks to everyone who has viewed and commented on these pictures. It is much appreciated.

The pillars of the Olympic cauldron are even more beautiful by night than by day. The arms appear to be lit from within and the contrast of blue and yellow light is impressive. In this shot the Olympic rings in the harbor can just be see at the base of the legs. The authorities have now moved the fence closer, have cut out sections of the fence and replaced them with plexiglass panels and have opened the viewing deck to visitors making it much easier to take pictures of the cauldron.
