Readers who were following me on Twitter today knew that I went house shopping in West Vancouver’s Whitby Estates. The Estates are located on a heavily sloped mountainside that offer spectacular panoramic city and ocean views. While touring one of the homes, I took a TwitPic of the view with my iPhone and got a bunch of replies back asking for more information on it.
