B&W Photo Contest — Travel — Gastown — 3 Entries
Here are my 3 entries for @daveks B&W Photo Contest due today. These photos were taken by me a few years ago.
I'd love to revisit this area. There is so much to see and do in downtown Vancouver. Gastown is one of my favorite neighborhoods.

Nice photo @countrygirl. Oh yeah, I'm never see and meet the clocks and cars like that 😁
Thanks @zamzamiali. It's a beautiful part of town. Very artsy and interesting. The clock is very cool. We waited for the hour so we could hear the whistle.
Interesting photos and explanation. I am fascinated by the whistling clock. I assume the bus in the photo is for carrying tourist around to see the city?
Yes, the buses were for tours. We didn't ride on one though. They are bright red like in the UK. The clock is very interesting. And it does whistle like a steam whistle. Fun!
Love Gastown too and the haunted restaurant, cobbled streets and gas lights everywhere :)
Yes, the haunted toilet in the ladies room. lol

Even in black and white, the street looks like a good place for a walk and photoshoot. The clock interests me the most because of it being steam powered. It's impressive that they were able to line up the street with different types of architecture.
It's an amazing neighborhood for sure. There are lots of nooks and crannies to check out and of course many shops and restaurants and pubs. The sidewalks for the most part were brick or cobble stone.
The street in the photo with the different architecture is very interesting, I agree. I'd love to be able to check them out next time I go....things were closing when we were there so we didn't do much snooping.
I like your entry's. I don't think I have ever seen so much overhang behind the rear bus wheels. What id everyone sat in the back?? LOL. would be interesting. LOVE the clock!! Good luck with the contest.
I know!! Can you imagine how bumpy that would be? or back heavy? That would make a great video - too funny!!
Thank you!
So cool I love seeing the different sites of the west coast as I have never had the chance to go there. I hope I get the chance soon. Thank for sharing Deb. Hope you are well.
