"In this old home movie from the 1920's you will see a group of ladies on a trip aboard a Canadian Pacific Steamer leaving Vancouver and going through the Puget Sound on their way to Victoria. In Victoria you will see the Empress Hotel and the Parliament Buildings, plus much more." (By: Reelnostagia)

Attack of the Jellyfish Video
While Lion's Mane Jellyfish are quite common, most people have never seen a real one in person. Vancouver'd is about the uncommon experience, so let's talk jellyfish.
The Vancouver Aquarium makes it possible to get face-to-face with a whole bunch of these captivating creatures - and even take pictures and video.
In this article, we'll look at 2 kinds of jellyfish videos you could make.
Capturing the memory with a digital camera or video camera is fun. And unlike taking pictures of fish in low-light aquariums, the jellyfish tank has more lighting, upping the chance of a good picture.
Using a video camera to capture the action is even easier since they adjust to movement in low-light conditions better.

This May 7th, 1907 video gives a glimpse into Vancouver lives of the past. A camera was attached to the front of a trolley as it rode through town.
Imagine walking down the streets of modern Vancouver with this video in mind. Imagine the people of the past walking alongside you.
Notice the horse-drawn carriages, bicycles and occassional dogs running through the street.

Let's look at the streets 100 years later.
Here's a picture of Robson Street taken July, 2007 by me from a tourist bus. Robson Street is one of the popular Vancouver shopping areas. See the Bebe store, the fancy modern clothing, the BMW's and other cars on the streets.
This was my view from the top of a double decker Big Bus, one of the tourist bus lines that takes Vancouver visitors to the better parts of the city.
Georgia Street in Vancouver is packed with cars and lined with modern apartment buildings.
I happened to spot a Centennial Edition Harley parked on Granville Island in Vancouver.
It had the 1903-2003 emblem, a reminder of what has really changed in 100 years and what has stayed the same.
