Vancouver


August 31, 2004

OK, here they are in color. Click here to go back to black and white.

A lot of the drive in Washington state was beautiful, but for once I was driving rather than taking pictures.





Into Vancouver from the south via Olive Street.


I passed through the suburban area in the south section of the city, then moved over to Granville Street.
The Granville Street Bridge leads onto downtown's island. I couldn't capture it in the photos while driving,
but the skyline spreads unbelievably across the horizon.






After parking downtown near Richards and Davie I started walking north.


I would give the names of these buildings but I don't know many of them.








One Wall Centre: Vancouver's tallest (479 ft) and recipient of the 2001 skyscrapers.com award




The Electra on Nelson Street (293 ft)






Wall Center Suites (283 ft), another building in the same complex






Base of One Wall Centre


















Base of the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel






All three buildings of the Wall Centre complex




On the move again




Walking southeast on Robson Street






Eastern corner of Robson and Burrard. I bought a CD at the Virgin Records.


Looking northeast on Burrard St.




Looking northwest on Alberni St.
