Picture of the Day: Happy Boulder

A happy boulder sitting at the end of the street

The City of Vancouver has been working in our neighbourhood for over a year now, installing badly needed sewer pipes to replace those that are over a century old.

It's also because the city (and the provincial government) intend to densify neighbourhoods with up to six units on one lot, and our area is on the target list.

Every morning work starts at 7am, making the construction noise a jarring alarm clock, and the work goes on all day until 3pm.

Sometimes when they are digging up the roads they find massive boulders. A few months ago there were two giant ones near our home and they were hoisted up by a forklift onto a truck that took them away.

The other day another giant boulder was dug up at the end of the block.

Someone decided to personify it with eyes, nose and a mouth!
