A rambling narrative
in which bardsmaid travels to Vancouver to visit her
good friend Listen, and together they trek around Vancouver and
environs taking in the sights... and hunting down a handful of
locations where the X-Files was filmed. Because how can
you see a picture of the Grouse Mountain tram and not think of
that scene in Ascension?

On
the last day we took the SkyTrain downtown to Canada Place, where the
cruise ships dock. You can't imagine how huge these ships are
until you see one in person--just massive. |

Hotels and office buildings--and those
signature hanging baskets of flowers--in this upscale part of downtown
Vancouver |

Visitors from all over walk the promenade
here, snapping pictures of their friends and of the scenery, including
North Vancouver and the snow-covered mountains across the bay. |

View of wonderful, wooded Stanley Park (where the
Tunguska prison camp scenes
were filmed) and North Vancouver from Canada Place. I think I now
know how
Vancouverites must feel, living in a city where so much TV filming goes
on,
because just two days after returning home I was watching an episode of
Kyle XY
when a beach scene came on, and immediately I realized that what I was
looking at
was North Shore Vancouver and the snow-capped mountains behind it.

Docked in downtown: the scale of high
rise buildings and cruise ships harmonizes in this view from the Canada
Place dock.
That's all, folks! Thanks for
taking the tour, however modest. I only wish I'd taken more
pictures. Guess I'll just have to go back for the ones I missed.
