What a pleasure to view your site. I've been to Vancouver several times a few years ago and enjoyed seeing a lot of it again. Butchart Gardens will always be one of my favorite places in the world. Thanks again. |

WOW! All I can say is WOW. The sand sculptures are amazing. There is not a word that can describe the awesomeness of them all. My friend sent me this sight. I will thank her greatly for that. Keep up the good work. |

| LLoyd Gowan lsgowin@cornhusker.net Lincoln July 1, 2006 7:28:29 PM PDT |
Wow: I can't understand how the sculptures maintain the strength to reach so high when I never was able to stand one bucket on top of another. Moisture and compaction but no way could a spire be erected as evidenced here. Tremendous talent and far reaching themes. LLOYD OF LINCOLN (LOL) |

Thank you so much for all the wonderful pictures. I am going to save them so I can see them again and all the rest of the places you have for us to see. Thank you again as it is so nice to see something beautiful instead of all the jokes. |

I have seen many web site pictures but none can compare to the organization and quality photographs you have displayed. These are awesome pictures. Although I am only a semi pro photographer and video person, I worked with many types and ages of pictures and enjoy generating photoshows. I look forward to viewing more of your excellent web site. |

I used to live in BC up to 8 years ago. Of course I travelled and saw much of the areas that you show on your site, but I never dreamed that I would move away, there fore did not take many photos. I want to thank you for putting together this wonderful site so that I can now share photos of the province that i grew up in. ( I am now living in Louisiana usa.) |
| Rosalind Forrest Huntsville, Alabama. USA ros4lzf@comcast.net June 13, 2006 4:05:57 AM PDT |
Sandcastles - I can't believe the designs and also the expressions on the faces; they are all phenominal. Breath taking! Thank you from those of us who are unable to visit in person. |

Thank you for such a wonderful tour through two beautiful cities: Vancouver and Victoria. I have had a love affair with both cities for many years now, yet you have places I didn't know existed! Now I must return and visit them. This site will go in my favorites to enjoy over and over again! Thank you again! |

WOW! Some of the best photos I've seen of my home town. I live not too far from Green Timbers Urban Forest in Surrey. Most people don't even know that it exists. I hope that your site inspires everyone to visit the parks that are basically in their backyard. My husband and I love to visit these parks and enjoy each of them for their own special charm. Thanks for highlighting our beautiful cities and all of the lower mainland. |

Awesome pictures!! Almost unbelievable sand sculptures,...just amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole site, vastly different, yet much alike to our mountains of East Tennessee. Thanks for your choices & excellent effort with the site. |
| Joyce Travis Las Vegas, Nevada, USA joycet4@cox.net Apr 8, 2006, at 11:59 AM, |
One of the best websites I've ever run across--not only amazing photos but the ease of use and great organization is something I wish others might see and emulate. Just great, most enjoyable, appreciate your efforts so much! Thanks, |
| Annet Velt a-k-velt@planet.nl Holland |
Thank you for introducing the website! It is wonderful to see the places/spots I have been; its wonderful remembering. Thankyou. Sure will show it to my friends! Greetings out of Holland, Annet Velt. |

What a marvellous site, makes me realize how lucky we are to live where we do. In particular though I enjoyed the Expo 86 pictures. Brings back all those happy times wandering the site, trying out different restaurants, getting my passport stamped (I still have it:) So thank you Allan for a great site. |
| Kathy Piccott Managerial Support Administration & Parks Division City of Surrey, British Columbia November 25, 2005 8:45:13 AM PST |
We have recently been visiting your website - your photos of Darts Hill have been very inspiring to us. Also, I've advised the Manager of Parks for the City of Surrey of your newer folders - Fleetwood Park, Blackie Spit and others. You are a very talented photographer - thank you for setting up this website to share these great photos. |
| John Wilkes Cam, Gloucestershire, England xnm15@dial.pipex.com Sunday, July 13, 2005, at 03:32 PM |
I like the lack of litter - the open spaces - the green. Burnaby - That's a place name you'd never find in the UK (I think). Queen's Park - ABSOLUTELY NO LITTER - AMAZING. Nice hanging baskets. . . Every one of those pictures that include 'ground' would have litter on here - just a sweet wrapper here or a discarded scrap of paper there. GOOD CLEAR PICS - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STYLE |
