Happy Olympics Opening Day!In honor of the Vancouver Games, I'm posting one last shot of our Peace Arch in Blaine, Washington. This picture, like the last two I posted, was taken at the Olympic torch run. It was difficult to take the shot without getting masses of people in it! That's why the bottom is cut off, but I decided it turned out nice enough anyway.
We 'Hamsters have been expecting to be inundated with travellers for the Olympics, as we are only an hour south of Vancouver. However, as far as I can tell there hasn't been a discernible difference. Maybe that will change, but either way it's fun to be close.

This is a great shot...I like the angle. And I really like what is engraved on the arch. Can't wait for the Olympics to get started - I love to watch curling...does that make me weird?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this! As I said, I'd not seen it before! So very beautiful and meaningful!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll be able to see a lot of it, and not just on tv!
ReplyDeleteThis shot makes an incredible statement! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful shot. Will you be able to make any of the events in Vancouver?
ReplyDeleteMagpie-- I like curling, too! But maybe that makes us both weird.
ReplyDeleteRob and Mandy and Brattcat-- we're not planning on making it to any of the actual games... it just seemed like too much hassle with the little ones. Still, it's fun to watch the events live on the Canadian channel we get.
The Peace Arch is an impressive symbol. Strong architectural lines!!
