Stanley Park @ MindSay

ok, so i'm here in my room and then my mom calls my name and she wants me to go look at something. being irritible i wasn't too excited so i threw on the shrit i wear to bed and walked out there. They were watching The 4400 (the newest episode. my parents taped it and their watching it now.) and they were supposedly at an aquarium in Washington. Bullshit- they were at the motherfucking Stanley Park Aquarium in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. They chased this guy past the dolphins and outside and the whole time i'm just like, "omg, i was there! I know exactly where they are!" I think if anybody has been there its a small enough place that they would know exactly where they were, too, but it was so cool! I was only there a month ago! lol. (Yeah, i'm so dumb.) And when they were there there weren't all those screaming kids like when we were there...*shudders* but yeah, i just thought that was cool. like how we were at Fern Canyon a week before they filmed part of Jurassic Park's sequel The Lost World and we saw them prepping for it...and how that whole area is pretty much where they filmed that movie...and all the scenes that are supposed to be the forest moon of Endore...lol. yeah.

and lived to tell about it. I skated the sea-wall starting from Pacific & Jervis shown here 

I live one block up Jervis on the corner of Harwood and I can see English Bay from my window - the tall ships are out there this week

And continued the skate all the way around Stanley Park - in the dark - it was pitch-black in most spots or very low light - there are no street lamps. This is why survival with no scrapes, falls, bruises, or muggings are amazing.

I had to cut through the pathways on the bottom half of Lost Lagoon where it's all trees to cross over to the Coal Harbour side and then continue around the sea-wall to Burrard Inlet, under the Lions Gate Bridge and back down to the English Bay side - according to the map

I forgot to look at the time when I left so I'm not sure how long it took. It's about 12-14kms I believe and I boogied pretty quick - passed a few people on their bicycles.

Now a shower and then bed. Nite all.

I took a 3 1/2 hour walk early this evening. And before I left, I caught a great by Dawg.

Guess

Looking straight up.

Heading into the woods.

Kind of spooky here in the dark woods.

I could stand inside this burnt out tree. It's still alive.

This is cool - trees growing up, rooting around the old stump.

A while later, sunset is upon us as it descends down behind the clouds. Beautiful!

What the heck is this? He was just hanging out - literally.

Heading back home I stumbled upon a busker show on the beach.
