Photoblog: A Day Out in Vancouver

Out of the mist, between the tree tops, above a deep gorge rises an acrophobic nightmare - the Capilano Suspension Bridge (photo by Brazeline Chau; Nikon 7100).

Photoblog: A Day Out in Vancouver

Out of the mist, between the tree tops, above a deep gorge rises an acrophobic nightmare - the Capilano Suspension Bridge. (photo by Brazeline Chau; Nikon 7100)

We're happy... but a little afraid. (Erin Battrick; Canon T3)

But Shen Yun performers took the challenge of bridging East and West, literally. (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

We even proved more flexible than the bridge. (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

... some of us, at least. Songtao Feng on left, and trombonist Alistair Crawford. (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

Twins from another life: Songtao Feng and Sky Liu. (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

Okay, what should we conquer next? (Erin Battrick; Canon T3)

How about contemplative stretching? (Songtao Feng; Lumix GF3)

The bar has been raised - about 100 ft off the ground, to be exact. (Songtao Feng; Lumix GF3)

After the bridge, which is about 460 ft long and 230 ft off the ground, comes the meandering Cliffwalk. (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

Most people find this a more thrilling experience than the bridge itself, because when you look down past the narrow plank, you get almost a full view of the ravine. (David Chou; Nikon D7000)

We came, we saw, we conquered. Shen Yun dancers Jade Zhan (left) and Feiyang Xie. (Erin Battrick; Canon T3)

We even got a certificate. (Erin Battrick; Canon T3)

At the end of the trail, I discovered a way to think inside the box. (Songtao Feng; Lumix GF3)

This one is a documentary (Songtao Feng; Lumix GF3)

Spot the time traveler, Mark Kao? (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

And what would a Vancouver outing be without a bear hug? How much pain do they have to bear to get so flexible? Taiwei Wang and Selena Ren. (Erin Battrick; Canon T3)

We built up an appetite, and were rewarded with spicy hot pot. This is just some of the chili we fished out of our so-called medium hot pot. (Ben Chen; Lumix GF3)

View from our hotel. Good night Vancouver. Sleep early, we have a show tomorrow. (David Chou; Nikon D7000)

To me, Vancouver felt like home—the city is on more or less the same latitude as London, has similar climate, and is, after all, British Columbia. After our travel from California and before our first show at, what else, Queen Elizabeth Theatre (notice the "re"), we had a day to explore.
