"Apparently there is a whale in false creek..." nothing will get me to run faster. Nothing.
I've been living in 麻豆传媒映画for almost exactly 2 years now, and it's been a personal goal to see one that is not in a tub of water at a zoo. Dream fulfilled today.
I threw on pants, shoes, my camera and ran down the Granville Bridge... and with perfect timing, I saw it...here's my "photo essay", haha:
The coast guard and police boats were hanging around Bridges so I assumed it was over that way....until i saw this:
White Ghost? Loch Ness Monster? Nope...Gray Whale!:
I ran across the 8 lanes of the Granville Bridge, and by that time, it had made its way towards Stamps Landing, and then Science World (where Bob saw it)...then I got a text that it was heading back, so I braved the wind and watched as the entourage of boats made its way back:
But again, it clearly liked me more and surfaced close to the bridge:
Then the ghost swam back under the bridge and came up again right by the aquabus dock, but I was dodging traffic at the time. Here is the shot of the TON of people at Grandville Island/Bridges waiting to see it:
But it went straight for the Burrard Bridge and back to the ocean:
Vancouver, you are awesome.
Whale, you made my day.
