The Totem Poles at Stanley Park

Stanley Park is sort of like Vancouver's version of New York's Central Park.

Ok, it's nothing like Central Park. The only similarity is its proximity to the city.

The totem poles here are the most visited tourist attraction in British Columbia.

One of these things is not like the others.

This adorable pup looked at Mr. Monkey with great interest.

Soooooooooo cute.

Stanley Park has everything -- totem poles, the aquarium, a farmyard, miniature trains, lagoons, beaches, forest, a huge hollow tree, a salmon demonstration stream, lawn bowling, a yacht club, a rowing club, putting greens, and trails galore.

A visit to Vancouver is not complete without Stanley Park.

  2. I think I could seriously live in Stanley Park. But the totems here and in Victoria were some of my favorite aspects of BC.

  3. The totems were carved from the 1920s through as recently as 2009.

    The colors may be vibrant because of my overzealous editing. LOL.
