It was us at The Province. Here’s the original link, where the photo fades from one to the other:

We’ll be doing a bunch of these for our upcoming “one-year-after” feature online.

Memories, happy memories. I agree it is sad that its over. I’m hoping that the paralympics will bring some of that wonderful atmosphere back again.

That is so beautiful and kind of sad.

I loved having so many people in the city. I loved the vitality and the friendliness and I would be thrilled to have those components here most of the time. I also like crowds at times – and the Olympics was certainly one of those times.

I look at the second pic and think, that’s so sad… so quiet. But, then again, the peace is a quality that I (occasionally) find myself really enjoying about living in Vancouver.

Hmmm…

I’m pretty sure it came from the Vancouver Sun:

How I miss thee, awesome days of yore. :(

I’ll be dining on my Olympic memories for years to come.
