Vancouver 2010 Vectorial Elevation in the Miss604 Flickr Group

Comments 6 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Vectorial Elevation is illuminating the night sky, sending beams of light across English Bay and Vanier Park. When I first wrote about the free public outdoor light show I added a poll to my site where 77% of readers agreed that they are all for this display.

Walking home at night lately it just reminds me that something BIG is about to happen in Vancouver. As those beams stretch to the highest of clouds, I can feel the City’s excitement growing as my own hopes for Vancouver 2010 come even closer to being a reality.

All that being said, quite simply it’s a really cool light show. Many have photographed Vectorial Elevation so far as it paints the sky with public-submitted designs and I’m happy to report that many great photographers have added their images to the Miss604 Flickr Group. This is a quick snapshot of what Vancouver looks like at night lately and please remember to click through to the photographers’ Flickr sites to view more of their great work.

    I’m not sure about the practicalities, but assuming they’re not a real obstacle wouldn’t you prefer to keep this display in the city year-round to the binge of explosions that is the Symphony of Fire?

    I don’t think the people behind Vectorial Elevation considered that people might like to see their designs live. When I submitted a design, it told me an estimated time until it would show. I showed up, waited about 15 minutes in the cold, then gave up. Got an email later, after it showed (about half an hour late), with some low-res photos. How hard can it be to give me an exact time? It’s computer-controlled, right?

    Other than that, though, pretty cool stuff. I’m enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would initially.

    I would love to have this year round and would happily ditch the four night gluttony of fireworks (aka The Drunken Pee-o-palooza)

    I just found your great website. Greetings and best wishes to you all in Olympics land from your neighbors in Seattle.

    Hey miss604! I love your blog – I’m from the Vancouver area too and your posts each day about it is so exciting!

    I can see those light beams all the way from Richmond… quite phenomenal!
