I'm not really happy with how the above photo looks; I'd under-exposed it to the point where bringing up the values to highlight the person on the escalator was difficult. Maybe the overall photo could be improved with more grit.

Sadly, showers return Friday and full blown rain will again hover over Vancouver like Harry Potter's dementors all weekend.
