I'm not sure what the earliest version of Photoshop is that has it but if you have Photoshop then go to File > Automate > Photomerge and it will make the panorama for you. Then just crop off the weird edges

Here are a few photos from my trip to Vancouver, more to come.

Here's one of the Vancouver downtown skyline at sunset, I wish I had a better camera and that the power lines weren't there, but alas.

Here's the downtown harbor control centre on a foggy Boxing Day.

Is the New Amsterdam cafe still there?

I have fond memories of that place

Yeah that's what I was thinking when I saw the picture. Two years ago when they were still building the Shangri-La (the really tall building) there would be this really cool skeleton look as the sunlight penetrated each floor. My friend who lives in that apartment took a picture, but I don't think he has it anymore.

New Amsterdam Cafe is still there, but I've never been. I feel more comfortable smoking pot somewhere closer to home.

^That first one is amazing! I've never seen a sky like that in my life.

So I'm rummaging through some photos, found some I already had online. These are from my first ever visit to Vancouver B.C. in 2005. I vacationed with my ex while we were still living in Houston.

That's my aunt in the white pants, and my cousin's wife to the right holding a jacket. I think I just noticed a boob in the lower right, hmm. Hope that's not my mom's.

Good 'ol Sunset beach. I'm assuming you were walking across the Burrard street bridge when you took that photo? I use to live about three blocks away uphill from there a decade ago (****... it's hard to believe it was already a decade ago). I also use to play hockey where that parking lot now sits

Many thanks. I guess the trickiest part to that day was predicting whether the sunset was going to be interesting or not. In fact, that's one of my favorite things to photograph is a nice sunset. Probably because nature does all the work. I just click the shot.
