"The aftermath"

The sun finally decided to shine in Vancouver today, but for many it only served to reveal, all the more harshly, the aftermath of last night's madness and mayhem.

There was dismay, shame, outrage....and a huge unanswered question.

But there was also a show of solidarity, as Vancouverites, united in celebration just a short time ago, came together once again to clean up their city.

Most of these photos were taken by my friend Marissa during the volunteer clean-up in downtown Vancouver today. This is the Vancouver I live in. I'm prouder than ever to call it home.
