    The stream at Tatlow Park in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver has been daylighted, and finally we get to appreciate it after the recent heavy rains. You can read about the project at Tatlow and Volunteer Park stream restoration | City of Vancouver. I took these photos on the Tatlow Park side October 29.
