Travel Camera Roll: Vancouver

by

I actually lived in Vancouver for half of 2024 (regular readers of the blog will recall me confidently declaring that I was moving permanently!), but I took fewer photos than I normally would on a trip or even in everyday life during that period. So I’m calling this a “travel camera roll.” The photos that are exclusive to this post have been taken on a quick administrative post-move trip in January 2025; the others are reposted from Unsplash or previous blog posts.

I’m organizing these by themes.

This is not in the city of Vancouver, which is on mainland BC; it’s a small island off the coast.
