It was a lovely sunrise over the Athlete’s Village and False Creek in Vancouver this morning. I headed out around 7:20 am and made this photo at 7:48. There was only a few light cloud wisps over Vancouver and Yaletown and the sun came up brilliantly behind Science World. That is an Inukshuk rock sculpture in the foreground; I’m always amazed at the rock balancing that people do along the shoreline.
The Vancouver Athlete’s Village looks to be almost complete and the workers have been finishing the landscaping (and security camera installation) in the past few days. Near the spot along False Creek, there were also workers completing the large screen installation that will allow people to watch some of the Olympic Games from the park in the middle of it all.

Hello, I’m sure you are getting a lot of emails, beautiful landscape with the Cross on the left side.. God Bless you to do a great work. I was hoping that you could direct me in the right direction. I just recently was laid off after working in the pharma business for over 21 years almost 22 years. I used to do a lot of photograph in the days film and the Pentax 6×7 and the F3 etc. I am doing wedding photography and sports locally, senior pictures and first Holy Communion, Baptism etc. my point is that I would love to go to the Olympic games and shoot some good sport shots for my porfolio but don’t know if I can get in and be able to get good pictures even though I could be a little far with my 400mm 2.8 and 2x but do you know how I could get a pass to get closer to take some pictures etc. I don’t want to go all the way there and not be able to get close enough… I just did a photo shooting in Rome Italy with almost 60 priest ordination and the Pope audience, it was awesome! So, could you help me or let me know how I could get in… my website is http://www.immaculatephoto.com. Thank you brother. God Bless!
