Last Friday in July ~ Skywatch Friday

 

These photos are from a walk when I went to do some late night errands earlier this week.  It was supposed to be a lot cooler but I'm so glad I didn't wear a jacket. I found it quite warm even until the late evening when I finally returned home.

This is the current location of City Hall

Looking northward to downtown from Cambie Street



Looking south on Cambie Street

Another southern view of Cambie near 12th Avenue

Broadway Street. A new subway is being built under where we stand.


Today I realized that it's almost the end of July and before we know it summer will be over. I was feeling a bit sad. Though summer isn't my favourite season, I will miss the bright days we've been having.  I realize I tend to live in the future, always looking ahead. As the years go by I try harder to  cultivate being in the present and appreciating each day. 



Thank you for visiting my Skywatch Friday post.
Have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Love that last photo and how mystical it looks. Yes, living in the moment is bliss that often seems a bit out of reach. :)

  6. You must live right down town. Interesting that there are people on the street. Our downtown is empty at night.

  8. Hi Penny, seeing photos of a city is quite unique to me. Living in the quiet countryside with surrounded by only small towns is very different. I am far behind with everything, very busy, then I fell in the garden and broke ribs so I am limited now to what I can do!! Very frustrating. Keep well, Diane
