From Tuija Seipell of Jaunted.com – Vancouver is still basking in the afterglow of the 2010 Winter Olympics and one of the best remnants of the Games is the public art that now decorates the city’s parks and buildings. For the next few weeks, Jaunted’s Vancouver Embed Tuija Seipell of The Cool Hunter will be reporting on the best of the bunch.
A-maze-ing Laughter happily competes with The Meeting for the title of the most-photographed and most-posed-with among Vancouver’s coolest public art. Each of the 14 happy bronze-cast males is 8.5 feet tall (2.5 meters) and weighs 551 pounds (250 kilograms).

It’s an exciting time to be in the city of Vancouver.
We’ve got warm sunny days. Blue skies, lotus blossoms are on the trees and I’ve caught a few people mentioning that their spring allergies have also made an early appearance.
In February!
Oh, and let’s not forget the 2010 Olympic Winter Games! That’s happening, too.
And Stephen Colbert‘s here, and so is the King of Greece, apparently.
But are they having as much fun as the people in these photographs are having?
Here’s some great shots of people playing with sculpture or is it the other way around?

Today’s the day!
The 2010 Olympic Winter Games officially kicks off later this afternoon at BC Place.
But check out this great photo of the torch passing A-Mazing Laughter – the Vancouver Biennale sculpture installation located at Morton Triangle near English Bay.
The torch is winding its way through my East Vancouver neighborhood right now but earlier today the torch route took in down Denman Street.
