And the torch continues

This was just after the hand off.

Passing the flame

This is a crop of a shot of the flame being passed, from left to right. A house is in the background. I just liked how the flame made the background look.

Runners pass along the flame

The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch changed hands along 20 Avenue at 15 Street NW in the Capital Hill community of Calgary on Tuesday, January 19. Everything seemed to work well.

Directing torcherous traffic

This was an officer directing traffic along the route. They did a pretty good job of minimizing the disruption for motorists.

Waving the flag on the torch run

One of the sponspor celebratory vehicles that came along. I'm guessing few Olympic level athletes are big coke drinkers.

Waiting for the flame

The torch bearer was standing and waiting for the flame to come.

One of a group of dogs. I think they were an official part of the celebrations, but am not sure. Anyhow, they were all cute.

Calgary Tower lit up

The Flame on the Calgary Tower was lit up for the event. At least I photographed "a" flame, if not "The" Flame.

Seal Hunt opponents at Torch ceremony

January 18, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

Opponents of the Canadian Seal Hunt used the torch cermony as a way of getting attention for their cause. Unlike the "Olympic Resistance Network", they are not opposed to Olympics per se. It's mainly a means of garnering public attention. I would take a wid guess they had around 20 people when I was there.
