fares and ferries

Yaletown Dock, False Creek

another shot from the improvised tour in this inlet...fares on these little ferries cost between $3.75 and $5:50, depending on how many stops the sailing involves...yet for $15 you can buy a day pass...getting one of those allows for a modest cruise about the lively waters of False Creek

the large spikey structure looming behind is BC Place Stadium....one colleague refers to it as 'the dead spider'

I like the foreground colors along with a sky that seems threatening. Great nickname for the stadium. V

The Aqua bus must be run by a Rastaman.

I love that amazing light against the dark sky. Wonderful water scene and cityscape. Even the dead spider. :) V.

I guess the bigger white boats probably cost a little more :0) I'm liking the dead spider too.

I like the colorful waterfront contrasting with the threatening sky in the background. I can sort of see where the dead spider comment came from ;-).

I remember seeing the Aqua buses when we were there! Adds a nice splash of color to this image! :)

Much to see in this image. Lots of detail and colors on land and on the water. "V"

The more I see of your shots, the more I am tempted to visit this lovely place! V

NIce capture of the splash of color provided by the small water taxis. Lol with your colleague's comment about BC Place Stadium. Surely that cannot be the opinion when it is lit at night.

Interesting info, great shot of this busy dock. I'd like a cruise on one of those yachts ;-) V
