On Granville Island (Vancouver) you can rent kayak (the price is nice on Friday specially) and have a nice easy kayaking on False Creek, which is not creek actually, but narrow ocean inlet. False Creek is surrounded by city center, so kayaking is similar boulevard saunter.
This is not a photo defect, this building is really curvy. It is Spy Glass.
Behind the bridges the inlet is much wider.
Yachts are parking near the porches.
Dragon Boats in training.
Tires for boat parking.

Monument of Flying saucer.
I don’t really know that is this piece of art means, but I believe that is the monument of a disposable syringe.
