it's been forever since i've been up there...i forgot just how beautiful the city is from there...i remember eating in the lodge, we arrived an hour before sunset...so while we ate the city slowly changed from daylight to night, and the transformation was amazing as the lights slowly came on over the city...i have to make it back up there while the weather is cooperating...great place to go for an evening or a hike...great pics too!!!
It was Elaine's office party. I hadn't been up there since I was little, about twenty five years. Cypress and Seymour, sure, but it's forever since I've been up Grouse.
ah, i've been up seymour more recently and even cypress, but just the same as you it's been about fifteen years since i've been up grouse...and the views from there are so amazing...
Good picture and great view I hope you took the opportunity to lookout on the city and either
1) go into a superhero monologue and swear to defent the inhabitants
2) looked out onto the city and swore revenge
3) Looked out on the city and cackled like a villian -for you knew that someday you would own all you saw before you and they would bow to your greatness.
Are you guys going to leafs housewarming in Seattle next saturday?
Oh .. I am sorry .. I borrowed you obnoxiously slow lazer beam to slowly cut james bond in 2. I didn't expect him to talk I expected him to die. I am having dinner with Mr Scorpio on tuesday , I will return it then.
So long as you repark it back overhead in it's correct location (about 20 km over Kerplakistan), then I'll turn a blind eye... this time. You're always free and welcome to borrow the shark tank and winch howver.
I am not allowed pets in my volcano base (landlord rules) and if you think I may loose my damage deposit with a waterbed just imagine what a 40,000 gallon shark tank will do. Plus they are a real bitch to clean, and you wouldn't imagine the smell.
Plus if I had sharks ..I would have to get them fricken lazer beams .. and I haven't ransomed the world with my doomsday device yet so I haven't the capitol to afford them ...yet
And with the impending 30% raises in BC Hydro costs on the way in March, anytime now that I power up the lazer beam I had better make it count.
Sharks seem way better behaved with tech-gear than our menagerie of rodents. Frickin' insolent guinea pig burned a damned hole through my work clothes this morning. And our almost-blind mouse was trying to launch ICBMs at the chinchilla cage to no avail.
The problem with the hydro raise it that - forget the lazer beams - do you know how much it costs to heat 40 000 gallons of water. Sharks are semi tropical fish and cannot survive in frigid icy water.
I guess I will just have to post some notices on the staff buliten board in the volcano base.
1- turn off all lights when you finish in the interrogation room 2- until further notice - the use of electicity or heat for torture will be temporarily suspended. 3- Limit yuor time in the showers.. get in , wash the blood off, and get out quickly. 4- In case of emergency/chain reaction/self destruction of the base .. use the stairs. not the elevator 5- The staff room refrigerator will be shut off on the weekend take your lunches,tupperware, and victims home with you. 6- Countdowns to the firing of the doomsday devices will be done verbally - no longer projected in letters 30' high.. that costs money people
Take advantage of that volcano, man! Start your world conquest with Iceland (really, who would notice if you conquered them?) and then leverage their expertise. Today Iceland; tomorrow, the world!
Beautiful job of "stitching" those panorama images together. :D It would be interesting to see what that vista looks like in another 10 years (comparing panorama views). It's been at least that since I'd been up there, and the city sure has grown since then. Just wish I'd thought to take pictures last time.
Wow, that's really beautiful, the city lights are incredibly. You should post that up on the vancouver message board, i'm sure a lot of people on there would get a kick out of that. -Allison

Date: 2002-11-26 03:05 pm (UTC)LOL! This actually reminds me of a hilarious scene in "Diamonds Are Forever".
In the Evil-Lair-Devilishly-Disguised-As-An-Oil-Rig, you can see in one scene the sign "If In Doubt, ASK!" posted up on the wall.
I guess aparently after getting his sorry arse whooped in previous outtings up against 007, ol' Blofeld was a tad bit wary of his staff.
