Vancouver, Christmas Lights

The other day, I posted pictures of the “Fleurs de Ville”, in Vancouver, but this city also has Christmas lights at various locations.

Not just buildings, signs and window displays, but sculptured lights, as well.

The best ones are the installations in the west end called “Lumiere Lights ".

Here are some pictures of a few illuminated animals installed at the foot of Davie Street, near English Bay.

Folks were taking selfies and pictures of the animals in the square.

This year, the organizers introduced "Barclay the Beaver".

Fleurs de Ville, Vancouver

Flew out to B.C. to visit my sister in Vancouver and spend Christmas with her. The weather was cool and rainy, but no snow!

I noticed an advert for “Fleurs de Villes – Noel” (a floral trail on the streets of Vancouver).

I thought we should check out the displays and take some pictures to show our friends, AND post on my blog.

These pop-up installations (over 40 of them) ranged from couture mannequins and holiday wreaths, to flowers adorning the doorways of some businesses. 

It began in the  lobby of the Fairmont Hotel, where this "Lady in Red" is showcased.

 

        Nearby is another one, that is adorned with white orchids.

  

Outside, on the streets, there are lollipops and a few reindeer.

All are created with fresh flowers and/or confer stems.

 

There is a "Sugar Plum Fairy" atop a bus shelter on Robson, and a telephone booth surrounded by a floral display.
 

                   

This is of course, is the Eiffel Tower.

An interesting installation was the mannequin at the Hawksworth Restaurant (Johnny Walker).

This pop-up was a mannequin on a rental bicycle (sponsored by Mobi).

 

Lastly, a picture of my sis beside a toboggan filled with flowers.
