Weekly Photo Challenge: Street Life – Revisiting Vancouver 2010

…As promised, more of the colorful street life in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, from Sarah McLachlan carrying the Olympic Torch, to street hockey, to drumming on the newspaper boxes, to waiting for the lights to change, and always thousands in the streets celebrating day and night.  Enjoy the ride!

A minor blogging celebration this week with over 200 fellow bloggers now following thechangingpalette.  By way of a thankyou to you all I thought I would re-post, as a final submission to this weeks Weekly Photo Challenge, my most favored photo since I started blogging last May.  It was taken early one summer’s evening from the Youth Hostel in Cortona, Italy and shows  the bells of the Chiesa del Torreone reflected in our bedroom window with Lake Trasimeno seen shimmering in the distance; a moment of pure magic.

This is also a moment to reflect on all the encouragement, support and inspiration that is to be found in the blogosphere and to which you all contribute in your own brilliant and unique ways.  Thanks again for making this journey such an enjoyable and enriching one.
