I happened to walk by this building the other day but it took a while before realizing it was the Vancouver library. Lately I read books from a tablet and haven’t been inside a library for ages. In any case, I liked the architecture of the library which seems vaguely Roman. Well, maybe a little more than vaguely.

Yaletown Condo
I like Thomas Hawk’s photography which has a lot of buildings at odd angles. This not so much, but I’m intrigued by the regular pattern of lines in the architecture. This photo is from the Yaletown section of Vancouver and I know that because the name of the subway stop nearby is Yaletown Roundhouse. A place where the rail roundhouse operated in ages past and now a trendy section of town. But then, when it comes to Vancouver, pretty much every section of town is trendy. It’s a trendy city.

Stepping Stones
This fountain can be found along the Coal Harbor section of Vancouver. It’s unique in that it has stepping stones such that you can walk right through the fountain, almost like a stream in an urban setting. I found it quite peaceful, however the night I was there a young man on his stunt bike was hopping from stone to stone on one wheel. Probably not what the architects had in mind, but I was impressed nonetheless.

Van Wezel Stairs
These stairs are on the grounds of the Van Wezel Performing Arts center in Sarasota Florida. Actually, I couldn’t think of anything to write about these, I’m coming up blank. How’s this, …Often patrons walk these stairs dressed to the nines in anticipation of a great performance. Hmmm, well maybe I should just let it go. You can make up your own story, it’s probably much better than mine.

Trinity
This is the Trinity Episcopal Parish Church in St. Augustine, Florida. There are so many people that like to visit St. Augustine that I had to get up before dawn to capture a few shots without the tourists. In general, this little town of is a photographers paradise, an abundance of subjects in every direction.

Hotel Georgia
This is the Hotel Georgia on a rainy night at the corner of West Georgia and Howe in downtown Vancouver. I think its cool to see the older architecture along with the new, it somehow makes it standout more and adds to the character of the town.

Motion
I grew up on science fiction and so I can easily daydream that a building is a spaceship. Sometimes I’ll come across architecture that’s ready for warp drive like this one along False Creek in Vancouver. Just one of many interesting buildings to be seen walking around Vancouver.

Wave
This sits along the Seaside Bicycle Route next to David Lam park in Vancouver. The wavy architecture caught my eye. And if you look at this building from the air using Google Maps you notice that much of the roof is grass. That’s a theme in Vancouver, grass on roofs. In any case, just one of hundreds of interesting buildings in this city on the Pacific.

Pirate Bar and Grill
This is the Pirate Bar and Grill where the atmosphere here is defined by it’s setting under a bridge on a bike path. If you’re looking for a secluded setting where you can sit outside at night and enjoy sights and sounds then this place is a real winner. Look for it under the Burrard Street bridge in Vancouver.

BC Place
This is Vancouver’s BC Place, a large stadium for sports and entertainment. It’s downtown and accessible on the major subway line, and the architecture, like everything else in Vancouver is amazing. The first time I saw it at night I thought it looked like some kind of mother ship with the way they light up the building.
