Wide angle

Same building as yesterday, but a wider view east down Columbia Street, to the River Market at right, opposite the railway tracks.

Kid Stuff

This sort of design, while quirky, is most likely going to look garish and dated in a very short period of time.

Airborne

Ok. So. This appears to be a fire escape. The architecture surrounding these 3 tower blocks and associated shopping plaza is a little...baffling.

Indecent

Snapped this picture yesterday as today this football stadium will be used for the annual Grey Cup match. When I got home and read the news, I found out that there were reports of leaks in this $563 million structure. I'm sure the government could have found much more important places to spend that much money. The stadium staff have already struck for better wages and working conditions. How having pro sports teams became a symbol of a city's prosperity is beyond me.

Bridging

View down from the SkyTrain platform across Eighth Street.

Up there

Second Thought

Home of the region's first forestry school, set up in the early 1940s after everyone looked around and said, "Oh, gee, it seems we've cut down all of the trees!"
