In preparation for this month's VanCon, I've been preparing to do a few picspams in honor of Vancouver. This will be in 3 parts: Vancouver, certain city landmarks, and then a third picspam featuring the convention hotel, the Sheraton Wall Centre. :D

I fell in total love with the city in 2009 during the first VanCon. Head over heels! I miss it when I'm away, monitor webcams from there every day, and count the days until I can return. I've been gathering all kinds of pics of the city from Flickr. I can give credit to the photographer for some of them, but please excuse the ones where I can't. Hope you enjoy the sparkling jewel that is Vancouver, BC!

A snowy, cold Vancouver with the Sheraton Wall Centre as the 2nd tallest building, next to the Shangri-la.

Sunset from Venture Vancouver.

Full moon over the city.

I love seeing the city all lit up like this with the still water and the snow-capped mountains in the background.
