Over the next year we will be witnessing the transformation of this former jail on Gore and Cordova  into "housing that makes caring homes" under the watchful eye of The Bloom Group (formerly known as The St. James Community Service Society).

 

Leaving Vancouver

No. 0100 - 20 Jun 2012 - 07:15:27

Leaving Vancouver for a couple of weeks means saying goodbye to, among other things, great coffee. I am on my way to Winnipeg for a quick visit and will be at the mercy of Starbuck's and Tim Horton's coffee for the near future. This is a Photosynth image of the JJ Bean cafe on Railway in downtown Vancouver.

VANCOUVER Portrait of a City

No. 3274 - 10 Sep 2009 - 06:53:49

Gastown, Vancouver

Ninety years, 30 storeys, and 15 city blocks separate two Vancouver erections, caught in a distant embrace.

In the foreground, is the 17-storey, beaux-arts style Sun Tower at 100 West Pender (W.T. Whitelaw, 1911-1912) which was the tallest building in the British Empire until 1914 and home to the Vancouver Sun , for nearly 30 years. Rising 48 storeys in the background is One Wall Centre at 1088 Burrard (Busby and Associates, 2000-2001) whose curving glass walls reflect the glow of northwest coast light and provide award-winning shelter to a hotel and residential condominiums.


VANCOUVER Portrait of a City is a 13 part series of photo images documenting the landscape, architecture, and light available from a fixed point of view, over a three year period.
