The totem poles in Vancouver’s Stanley Park tell the stories of the Northwest Coast First Nations. You can read the written interpretations of these stories here. I happened by this spot recently and took some images to remember it by.

Vancouver’s cold wet rainforest climate has kicked in again, just in time for the reopening of Stanley Park. Presumably, only the most hard-core rollerbladers and mountain-bikers are risking their necks on the sodden seawall this rainy weekend.

Still, it’s nice to know the jewel of Vancouver has recovered after the winter windstorms last year turned the park into a deathtrap (okay, maybe a bonk-on-the-head with-a-falling-branch trap).

Vancouver blogger/social media maven Miss604 has an excellent roundup on her own venture into “forbidden Stanley Park”after the storm that’s worth a read. The pictures really show the extent of Mother Nature’s fury.
