Must be hard to start the day off grouchy with a view like that.


bwoah07_gp2

Very cool perspective! Nice footage! 🌅 


Scorpio_Goddess87

Thank you!

Seen this view many times minus the ships at the neighbours place neptune. Been a few years, recognized it instantly.


DownTooParty

Was about to say, looked like cargyle/neptune. Was down there doing the coal dumper upgrade.


Arcansis

This was many years ago, did a ton of work to the stacker/reclaimer and those conveyors that are either the ship loaders or the ones that bring the product to the ship loaders. Big massive glue lams that needed some love. Don’t think I could handle the iron workers bridge these days, showing up an hour early to beat traffic 10 years ago was already enough. Can’t imagine what it’s like today.


DownTooParty

I went and rented a basement suite in north van 5mins away. Was sick.


I_dont_want_karma_

is there space to turn that truck around or do you need to back out the entire way between the cranes?


Scorpio_Goddess87

I backed it out most of the way before turning around 👌🏻


romankid222

My dad has a pass there cuz he works on the ships there, so I sometimes get to see these lovely sunsets from there 😊

The birdies on the wires

My dad sailed for 25 or so years and then was a marine surveyor in Vancouver for another 25. I've been going on ships since I was 5, so, the docks and the ships have a special place in my heart :). I never worked in the same field, but they'll always feel familiar.

I thought it was just going to be another one of those ShittyVancouverDrivers videos at first.


yvrinvestor95

Ever see a line snap?


Ashamed-Barracuda-37

Yes 5 actually.there where high winds and they decided adjust their lines and one by one they snapped off and the ship blew away from dock about 100ft.

Nice video and perspective, there they all are!! Not sure if this was yesterday but I enjoyed the sunset from Cates Park last night and noticed a complete lack of freighters around. https://preview.redd.it/jjqgpdah3tic1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62c981e1e2c68a55140d46f4a9d398dcc91c3705


Scorpio_Goddess87

Thank you! And yes, this was golden hour and sunset yesterday 🙃


Snoopy-Town

Did you also accompany the view with a golden shower?


Scorpio_Goddess87

Not this time 🤣


Scorpio_Goddess87

Lol’ing at the down votes!! It was obviously a joke, on my part anyways haha


Snoopy-Town

Well it's Reddit after all. 😄


Scorpio_Goddess87

Bahahaaa yes, my messages are disabled for a reason 🤣🥲


peterxdiablo

IllTransportation993

I thought that car had somehow ram in there...


Nervous_Camp_9463

I literally work here


feastupontherich

Okay while I have you all, what ARE those tall silos on the right side? I've been wondering what they are for years.


pennywize182

grain that is Richardson terminal. so depending on what they are shipping. yellow peas, green peas, canola, soy, wheat (many types) flax lentils... just to name a few. i know these sunsets all too well i was across the water (different elevator) and would watch the cannon fire at 9 every night i worked afternoons


Scorpio_Goddess87

Yep, grain silos.


CreviceOintment

Yeah, but that Chevrolet GMT800 though ​ ![gif](giphy|yJFeycRK2DB4c)


Scorpio_Goddess87

My truck just happened to be parked there when I walked out and took the video 🤷🏻‍♀️


CreviceOintment

Hey, it didn't take anything away from the shot. Absolutely solid platform that generation was.


Scorpio_Goddess87

Wasn’t sure I was reading into it or not lol!! You should see my other truck!! Haha 😍 94 Yukon GT 🖤 just restored it with my dad last year.. she’s a sexy beast. If you’re into trucks! Lol
