Library Owl

'Rosee du Matin'

Georgia & Seymour Street is near Vancouver Public Library. Lucky that I found it on my way to the library.

Running into eagles in Vancouver always brought a mixed feeling of surprise and joy. It's like meeting old friends and new friends all over the city since there is something different to look for around street corners.

I ran into these 3 eagles outside Wall Centre, at the intersection of Burrard and Nelson Street. Bus 49, if I remembered right, could take one there.

(Dec 27, 2009 was also the date that my old Sony W1 digital camera shot its no. 100,000 shots.)

I came across the first eagle statue while trying to locate SLAIS' reception for ASIS&T 2009 at BC Lion's Club. As for the 2nd one, I met it on the way back to the SkyTrain Station on Burrard St.. I took a turn back in order to take its photos.

There are also some eagles on Robson Street. The easiest way to spot them is the take a walk down Robson Street. ( Robson Street intersect with Burrad Street.) Once walked down the Robson Street, Stanley Park is not too far away (for someone who like walking, or one can just take Bus #5 down Robson Street).

與Burrad Street交叉的Robson Street上也有不少白頭老鷹雕塑，最簡單的方式就是順著Robson Street往Stanley Park的方向走。（有點距離，不推薦不喜歡走路的人，不想走路的話，Bus #5是另個選擇。)

It is just outside a store that sales Men's clothes. If you call seeing lots of handsome men is "a women's dream", it is the perfect place for the sculpture.

這座雕塑剛好在男裝店外，如果說看帥哥是每個女人的夢想，沒有比這裡更適合放置這座老鷹雕像了。
