2013 02 Feb 19 Sunrise 01a Red Mutant Eyes

And in the death

As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare

The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building

High on Poacher's Hill

And red, mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City

No more big wheels

2013 01 Jan 15 Vanier Park Hollywood North 01a.jpg

Vancouver is often called 'Hollywood North'. Being a young city (just over 120 years old) we have a diverse collection of ... well ... everything. Combine decent tax breaks with a perfect location for shooting a wide range of movies or TV shows we get them all. Sci-fi, crime dramas, rom-coms, zombie flics, etc.

Here's our Vanier Park and The HR MacMillan Space Center looking quite spooky in the artificial fog of the next block buster. Spectacular sunset as a backdrop provided free of charge.
