Eileen gave her speech at IMECE2010 on Saturday afternoon. I thought she did quite well. The presentation was very good and her delivery was excellent. Unfortunately the lighting wasn’t the best in the room so I couldn’t get very many decent pictures.
On Saturday morning I decided to head over to Stanley Park to see what there was to see. The walk ended up being much longer than I had anticipated but the exercise was welcome.
Looking toward the north and east from near the convention centre.
The promenade and green space along the harbour.
A rather odd art installation.
So many gleaming glass towers!
Interesting artwork.
Good use of old saw blades.
Some art from the Vancouver Biennial.
Pleasure boats and a few house boats, too.
Strange sculpture.
A famous Canadian.
The Lions Gate Bridge in the distance.
A totem pole park.
Some art in the water.
A jellyfish close to shore.
Loggers arch.
Strange artwork in the forest.
Someone forgot their cup.
Dark places and cold times.
Closer to the Lions Gate Bridge.
A kelp forest just offshore. It would probably be a good place to dive.
Japanese-Canadian memorial for all of the Japanese-descent Canadians that fought in the World Wars.
Heading back to the hotel through Stanley Park.
As part of my graduate studies, I went to the IMECE2010 conference to present a paper with my lab mate Sarah. On our way up in a little turboprop we passed many of the peaks of the Northwest.
Sarah reading one of her trashy romance novels.
Interesting advertisement.
Mount Saint Helens.
Mount Rainer.
Over Canada.
Outside the airplane and terminal in Vancouver, BC. It’s Canada, eh!
