Jesus Christ my phone camera is rubbish

It's not even my Canadian phone (Samsung Chump 200) and it's pants. Not wholly surprising given that the lense is about 2mm wide, but still I expected better.

So as a prelude I decided to make a bit of use of my day off today and took some photos of downtown from various bridges and points of vantage. Well when I say made use of my day what I really mean is I happened to have my phone on me while Rosie and I went over to the southern mainland to go to a costume shop. And even then we didn't make it in time, but still one Wendy's meal later I was a few photos richer.

Looking down from Granville St to the apartments and gardens of Beach Crescent.

The many apartment blocks of downtown. The tall centre building is the Sheraton Wall Centre. My building is basically behind that.

 
The police impound! Probably the only one in the world with a view of 2 stadiums and several mountains.

 
To the left is the casino, and the ball-shaped object is the Telus Science Centre. The large apartment complex on the right is the start of the 2010 Olympic village.
 
BC place from the Cambie St Bridge. The realtor's ad for the apartment block on the right has several listings for the discerning millionaire.

I also took one at night but I'm not even going to bother with that one. Imagine if you turned on half a dozen torches and threw them randomly into your garden at 11pm and took a non-flash photo of the result. That's basically how it looks.
