One last location to complete my 'Seacouver' tour... The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver [49.283763,-123.120312] Episodes: 1x13 Band of Brothers, 2x07 The Return of Amanda, 5x02 The End of Innocence, 5x05 Dramatic License Robson Square, with the hotel in the background. Steps/ramp leading up to the top level of the waterfall fountains. Robson Square waterfall fountains [49.281840,-123.122397] Episode: 3x09 Shadows Top level where Garrick's gargoyle exhibit was located (north side). Top level where Garrick's gargoyle exhibit was located (south side). Top level fountain (waterfall not running). The mid-level waterfall. View across mid-level pool toward the walkway that overlooks the lower waterfall. Mid-level walkway above the lower waterfall. Mid-level walkway, looking down toward the lower level -- this is where the cloaked figure appeared before attacking MacLeod. Mid-level waterfall, from walkway. Street-level waterfall pool. Just picture water cascading down and a cloaked figure standing up above. Street-level pool, looking toward street where T-bird was parked. View down the sidewalk. Sidewalk on the other side of the square. (I was trying to decide where MacLeod & Anne were walking before reaching the T-bird. I don't think it was along this side.) UPDATE: Pretty sure it's actually on the top level, behind where the sculpture exhibit was. Vancouver Art Gallery [49.282459,-123.121375] Episode: 3x03 The Revolutionary Capitol building Looking toward the art gallery. Robson Square Conference Centre [49.282456,-123.120973] Episode: 3x03 The Revolutionary Below street level, under the 'dome'.

Sunday, July 13 Weather: Sunny, Hi 81 noon check-out Rosedale on Robson Hotel until 2 PM  final exploration(s) 5:00 PM ms Statendam departs Vancouver (room DA #540)
I had originally planned to spend Sunday morning visiting the Vancouver Art Gallery in Robson Square, the Vancouver library (very cool architecture), and MacLeod's Books. I did briefly visit the library, but mostly I spent the morning relaxing and uploading photos to facebook while my cousins visited Robson Square. (I *did* get to visit the bookstore on my return trip the following year.) It wasn't until we were on our ship preparing to depart from Vancouver that I suddenly realized I would have an opportunity to get a few more location photos. I should have realized this sooner, but ships have to travel under Lions Gate Bridge to get out of the harbor, and they also pass Lighthouse Park.
Canada Place [49.313234,-123.140639]	Episode: 1x10 Revenge Is Sweet
	Sadly, the Prow Restaurant was demolished when Canada Place was made longer in 2001 (so more cruise ships could dock there).
Lions Gate Bridge [49.313234,-123.140639]	Episode: 2x07 The Return of Amanda
	State Street Bridge, where MacLeod and Amanda confront the FBI agent.
Lighthouse [49.330405,-123.264577]	Episode: 2x05 An Eye for an Eye
	Actual distance to the lighthouse as we passed by.
Some zoomed-in photos (the best my phone's camera could do).

The End.
