Art Deco II

Here's another photo that I took of the Art Deco building on Burrard Street at West Hastings in Vancouver's downtown.  The shadow spoils it I think but I'l have to go into town on a sunny weekend to get a better angle without the offending dark spot. - V

Art Deco

This is a photo of the top of an Art Deco-style building in downtown Vancouver taken this morning before work.  The building is on Burrard Street at West Hastings Street.  It was a challenge getting the right angle for a decent photo because of the angle of the sun at the time of morning I took the image.  This style was popular in the 1930s and there are examples across Canada dating from that time in our history.  I'll have more once the photos are all edited.  Meantime, appreciate this one! - V

buildings and other stuff

One of my other major interests is architecture and how things are built and put together, so excuse the occasional diversion into this realm of interest. So, the above photo shows a row of high-rise condos on West Pender Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. The photo is looking east and upward. The street corner is about two blocks east of where West Pender Street meets West Georgia Street.

There is a building under construction on the north side of West Pender Street in the block one block east of West Georgia Street. In the case of Saturday cement was being pored as seen in the photo above. In the photo below this is a view of high-rise condos along West Georgia Street about a block north of where West Pender Street meets West Georgia. Note the changing colour in the leaves of the maple trees along the sidewalk! - V.
