Winter Olympics 2010...The Flame in White Rock.wmv

The Olympic Flame travels through White Rock, past my house on February 9th, at 7:15 A.M. This was the only morning with a bit of frost since before Christmas!
It is now 3 days before the start of the games in Vancouver when the torch will have been on the Road for 106 days being carried by 12.000 Torchbearers threw Canada, traveling 45.000km.

Oh well, maybe they can replace the snow skiing with water skiing:)

Vielen Dank, Beeke für den Link! :)

I freu mich schon sehr, wenn's losgeht mit den Spielen.

Diese Art von Winter wäre genau die, die ich hier auch gerne hätte.

Liebe Grüße nach Kanada,

@vancouvermild Yes I do see the difference between White Rock and Vancouver very frequently...and nearly daily even between my work in north Surrey and WR. By the way, I have lived in the Canadian Prairies for several decades with sustained winter weather of -40 Celsius and colder...so no lack of understanding for really cold weather :-)

No Randy, those hats are not flame resistant...just very, very ugly!

Sadly the whole olymic "thing" is by now so extremely commercialized...not much left fromt he original ideal.

Thanks for dropping by..."old pal" :-)
