A Day In Vancouver and what a day it was . it started out nice enough, but in the evening several thunder heads moved in, the sky turned an amazing shade of orange at sunset and then the clouds let forth 1200 lightning strikes over the city. all that and they still went ahead with the fireworks . i finally found decent video of it

Mesmerizing. That's a beautiful city you've got there.

Both videos were cool. How awesome that people happened to be filming - especially that time-lapse one, which just makes you reflect on all the moods of a summer day.

One of these years the mister and I are gonna get a downtown hotel room and watch the fireworks festival. Trying to drive and park would be absolutely insane.

Gonna send you a FB message, jokeefe.
