February 2006 Pics

	20 February 2006 Take good note where you leave them! Actually, despite what you'd think the place wasn't that crowded even though this was (we later discovered) always the busiest week of the season.
	20 February 2006 Nice blue skies and crisp snow on the ground. Don't think we'll be needed the Ski-doo to get down either
	24 February 2006 This little fella (the bird, silly) is called a Whiskey Jack. They hung out at the rather nice mountain hut, 'Chic Pea' which happens to be located by a run called, 'Whiskey Jack'... funny that.

24 February 2006 Some nice bowls down there - the view from Harmony Ridge, Whistler.
	24 February 2006 Some sort of free concert? Well, why not? Simple Plan appear to be a Canadian group - didn't know that before.
	26 February 2006 Nice new snow on Blackcomb mountain. So you can't see too far, who cares!
	26 February 2006 Rob & Pratiwi 'off piste' (ahem) at Blackcomb mountain. Yeah - lots of nice, fresh deep snow about
	28 February 2006 Heading on over to Harmony to play in the fresh stuff.
	28 February 2006 Plenty of fresh stuff down here if you can avoid the trees!
	28 February 2006 Saying goodbye to Whistler as the late afternoon sun hits a hill across the valley from the main ski fields.
	28 February 2006 Gastown seems a rather trendy area of Vancouver. Akin to Newtown in Sydney? Clerkenwell in London? Anyhow, the street lighting was rather nice as you can see.

March 2006 Pics

	1 March 2006 Vintage ute which looked like it was being treated as an everyday vehicle. Chinatown, Vancouver.
	1 March 2006 Nice little Chinese garden.
	1 March 2006 Colourful wares outside a Chinatown store.
	1 March 2006 Not sure these look particularly tasty.
	1 March 2006 Are they large snails this woman is fishing for? All sorts of seafood available in Chinatown, that's for sure.
	1 March 2006 It would appear that smoking marijuana isn't illegal in Vancouver, here (kindof between Gastown & Chinatown) there's a few cafes reminiscent of... well, Amsterdam cunningly.
	2 March 2006 From the rather unstable Capilano Suspension Bridge.
	2 March 2006 The sign reads, 'Vancouver's oldest visitor attraction sways 450 feet across and 230 above Capilano River and leads to the towering evergreens, mountain fed ponds and meandering trails of a West Coast rain forest. The current bridge is the 4th built at this location, the original constructed in 1889 of hemp rope and cedar planks'
	2 March 2006 Rob & Pratiwi on the treetop walk, Capilano, Vancouver.
	2 March 2006 Arty, farty shot of some tree stump.
	2 March 2006 Totem poles at Capilano, Vancouver.
	2 March 2006 Say no more... nice touch they use trolly buses still.
	3 March 2006 Arty farty shot of buildings and a tree.
	3 March 2006 It is rather nice that there's water and mountains and snow here. Shame then, that makes the water really rather cold.

	3 March 2006 Boat masts and mountains, Vancouver harbour.
	3 March 2006 Spring is coming to Stanley Park.
	3 March 2006 Totem Poles at Stanley Park, Vancouver.
	3 March 2006 There's a steam powered clock here, down in Gastown. Why isn't it called 'Steamtown' then? Who knows, but rather unusual all the same.
