Now that summer has arrived and we are all suffering with the heat and the humidity, I thought it might be time to publish some of my pictures from the Vancouver Olympics this past Feburary. While the Olympics were an outstanding success, it will be difficult for anyone who was not there to get a feel for how alive the city was. Hopefully some of the pictures will help to convey the spirit that was present.
