Vancouver, again

Up and out early. So early that nothing was open.  We wandered around the Yaletown section, walked by the Public Library which looks like the Roman Coliseum and the Vancouver Art Gallery which is in the an old courthouse building. Still too early.  So,we went to the Granville Island Public Market.

Lots of shops along the streets that used to be industrial.  There is still a cement plant on the island, otherwise the artisans have taken over.  The fruit and vegetable market has lots of vendors plus eateries and crafters.  I thought the presentation was impressive--all those stacked strawberries.

  

After Granville island, Doug and I went in separate directions, he to the history museum and me to the art museum.  The Vancouver Art Gallery has a rotating permanent collection mostly of the work of Emily Carr, a well known and well loved BC painter and author.  Her watercolors were featured along with Charles John Collings, also a BC water colorist of lesser renown.  Is it a BC sacrilege to say I preferred Collings over Carr?
