Evenings at Granville Island
Saturday, January 23, 2010
Being back to Granville Island's public Market for the second time in a week speaks highly of its atmosphere. But this time, coming later in the evening, the market was a much different place. Rather than it being busy with shoppers and the typical day crowd, it was slow and calm, with people sitting down in and outside the market...eating, drinking coffee and looking out across the water. The inside of the market is dimly lit and the shop owners walk about talking to their co-workers, slowly cleaning up from the day. Outside, buskers take to the open courtyards and fill the spaces. Slow, soft jazz tunes of the 1950s and 1960s, like "Moon River", echo out across the water as people sit at the benches close to the shore.
Louis Armstrong - Moon River
So easily you could fall in love with the city.
