Vancouver

If you have lived in any City as long as I have over 26 years, you have got to love the place totally. Besides, Vancouver is not like any other Cities. (Ingrid Michaelson sings "Maybe").

Fall

Fall season is here, although the weather is not really cold as yet, so far about 4C min.
Small traces of snow can be seen in the North Shore Mountains. In different part of Canada snow fall is already in order.

But the trees can certainly feel the change in the temperature, as shown in the leaves colour.
I like these Maple tree leaves on the photo that change to fiery bright red colour to welcome the Fall season.



Some fruits are hanging tough and still hanging around not to drop from it's trees.
Like these Blackberrys are still waiting for the birds or human to consume them. This reminded me, that "Blackberry" is a name given by "Research in Motion" for its smartphone, a Canadian Company from Waterloo, Ont.

Moon Festival

Moon Festival in Vancouver Chinatown. Just like Christmas and Thanksgiving in the West, the Moon Festival is one of the most important traditional events for the Chinese.

Shown on photo some Lion Dancers join in the Moon Festival Celebration.
