Industrious Sunday

Maybe it's because Vancouver is so flowery, shiny and more and more residential that I like to go look for the more industrial corners of this city. I find stacks of pallets, graffitied dumpsters, and rusting industrial machinery just as beautiful as manicured gardens. Sunday mornings are great because most of these areas are deserted and you can ride freely in between buildings and down interesting lanes. Highlights of today's industrious bike ride were the train and the stack of golden reindeer.

The boy was very excited about this "sleeping" train.

 

I can't think of a clever caption for this, but it really wants one.

A container full of Extreme Luxury Fur?

The Portable Orchard had a few apples left, but way too wormy to eat!

Vertical Gardens

Very cool vintage truck with wooden wheel spokes.

Stack of reindeer waiting for snow

Rusted!

Murals

We topped off our ride by stopping at the party store to buy helium balloons just because. What a perfectly perfect morning with my boy.
