Photo of the Week: Dusk in Downtown Vancouver

For this Photo of the Week, I decided to share one of my personal favourites that I’ve taken. Last summer, when my family from New Delhi was visiting, we decided to take them on a trip to Vancouver. Since there were a bunch of us, we stayed in this really old, really cool, Victorian style house rather than a hotel (Airbnb type of situation). At first, I was not the biggest fan because you know, air conditioning is dear to my heart, I am very suspicious of houses with creepy attics, and I just wasn’t used to the musky, woody, smell that all older establishments seem to have. But once I got over myself and my first world problems, I actually started to love the look and feel of this style of home. In one of the rooms they had even added this more modern contrast of a spray painted mural of the Vancouver skyline. So one evening, after a long day of gallivanting around Victoria, while my Grandpa took a nap, and my dad had gone out to get everyone some food, all the women in my family gathered in this room and we just had a lovely time discussing life and other matters, laughing and chatting away until sunset. From the window we had such a gorgeous view of downtown as well as the onset of dusk, and even now this photo makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and content. What’s a photo that brings you that feeling?

Hi there! My name is Dhriti and I'm currently a grade 11 partial I.B. student at Sir Winston Churchill High School. I'm a vegetarian, avid reader, chocolate-eater, feminist, LGBTQ+ activist, and aspiring journalist. When I'm not doing homework, you can probably find me taking photos of my cat, finding more obscure (and pretentious) music to listen to, or blogging for YAA! Thanks so much for taking the time to read my posts!
