When I fly back to Tampa from Vancouver this time of year we land around sunset. Aside from the occasional iPhone photo, by the time I get off the plane its usually too late to get a good shot. This day I got out of the terminal and headed straight to the top level of the parking garage to capture this picture. Oddly enough, I wasn’t the only one, a group of about eight people including a few children where there to watch the sunset as well. I remember the dad saying to his impatient son, “look while you can, you don’t see many sunsets it your life, this is one of the few”. I thought that was cool, but in a way kinda sad. I mean except for weather, every day we have sunsets, it’s just a matter of whether we choose to take the time to notice. This photo is all about that.

Yacht Club
This is the False Creek Yacht Club in Vancouver. I honestly don’t know anything about it, I just happened to be walking by with my camera and was struck by the design of the building, as well as the location just under a large bridge. It seems wherever I walk in Vancouver I end up with unexpected sights that interest me as a photographer. This is just one of several that I’ll be posting from a walk this evening.

Terminal D
I travel through Dallas airport frequently and Terminal D is my favorite hangout. Not only is it the most recently constructed with more stores and restaurants than most malls, it has art such as this sculpture placed throughout the terminal. Photography has opened my eyes to art wherever I see it. For instance, there are intricately laid tile mosaics on the floor and I, like many, walk right over them without a notice. One of these days I’ll try to capture those as well.

Wainborn
This was shot at dusk just as the lights of the city started to come on. George Wainborn Park, Vancouver. When I shot this I had a group of people standing behind talking about how this picture would look. Well, here its is, hope you like it. 😉

YVR
YVR is the designation for Vancouver International Airport. Thousands of these florescent lights hang at odd angles throughout the airport. On this morning before a flight home I caught the attention of the cleaning staff as they looked at me and wondered what the heck I was taking a picture of.

Saturday Morning
I snapped this corridor on a Saturday when it was relatively quiet. On weekends cities take on a different atmosphere and the opportunity to notice simple things such as this corridor. The simplicity and reflections caught my attention.

Downtown Arts
After several days of typical rain I (and everyone else) headed out for a walk around the city. From the looks of it the flowers enjoy the rain and are now growing abundantly throughout downtown Vancouver. Just about everywhere you look you’ll see public art. This sculpture sits in a park across from the Vancouver Art Museum. Unfortunately they don’t allow cameras inside and I wasn’t about to part with mine, so that will be saved for another day.
Lobby Reflections
I can never get tired of the architecture of Vancouver condos. On a recent post I showed this building from another perspective. I came here to take a picture of a colorful glass sculpture which faces the sidewalk. Those pictures didn’t turn out too well, but the others, like this lobby passed muster. Just going with the flow.

Inter-terminal Walkway
On one of my trips home a connecting flight was delayed. Actually on dozens and dozens of flights home, but I digress. On this particular delay I had the presence of mind to pull out my camera as I’ve always wanted to capture this walkway between D and C terminals in the Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). To get to another terminal travelers are instructed to take the sky-link tram, however to stretch your legs this is a pleasant walk and as you can see somewhat removed from the crowds. The moving walkway is about a quarter of a mile long so if you prefer you can just relax. It’s an option if you’re ever passing through because the odds are, …you’ll have the time.
Sun Belt Cookery
On this evening while walking to my hotel I captured this photo of the Sun Belt Cookery which is in the Coal Harbour section of Vancouver. I was attracted to the architecture of this however I was originally out to take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms and, as is so often the case, got distracted. Nonetheless you’ll notice a small Cherry tree full of blossoms in the upper left and in some small way I can say that my mission was accomplished, albeit unintended. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
