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.

Lower Longboat
Thousands of little fish, I’m not sure what they’re called, swim close to the surface and the birds along the waterways are more than happy to scoop them up. This is the southern tip of Longboat Key near Sarasota Florida. Late afternoon is a great time to be close to the water as you’ll always see something interesting and unexpected. The day I took this I saw a six or seven foot shark about a hundred feet off shore (in an area not too close to the beaches). As I said, interesting and unexpected.

Van Wezel Patio
This is the patio of the Van Wezel Performing Arts center in Sarasota, Florida. The architecture and purple color of the building are unique in the area and stand out from a distance. I took this at sunset and was more drawn to the reflection of the sunset than the real thing itself. I’m always excited in a geeky kinda way, when I find something unique close to home, and the Van Wezel is a pleasure to look at from any angle, near or far.

Magic Dusk
Minutes after a sunset are sometimes the best to enjoy; the light of dusk on an ocean shore on a warm day is simply exquisite. I think that if I didn’t have a real job, I might just spend every evening by the beach capturing sunsets at dusk. But for now, the occasional picture is enough to keep me happy. Happy Friday everyone and I hope this brings a touch of that magic to your day.

Cool Patio
This is an empty patio during sunset on Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver. Now that we’re headed into summer, I suspect this patio is busy in the evenings and a perfect spot to watch the sun go down over the Canadian peaks and into the Pacific. I had so much fun taking this that whenever I’m in Vancouver I look up to this point from the city below and wonder what the scene must look like. I guess I need to head back up there soon.

Ringling Sunrise
The Ringling bridge in Sarasota Florida attracts people from all over the region. It’s connects the mainland to several strips of land called “keys” along the inter-coastal waterway. On this morning I found myself here to capture the bridge at dawn and the clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico that flow under it.

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.

Longboat North
This was taken at the northern tip of Longboat Key on central Florida’s west coast where people pause what they’re doing and come to watch the sun go down. Sometimes it’s fun just to watch people watching the sunset. If you look down the beach just as the sun hits the horizon, you can see hundreds of little flashes as people try to grab that perfect picture. Count me among them.

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.

TPA Sunset
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.
