Vancouver Convention Centre

The new way over budget Vancouver Convention Centre opened recently and we were in a good position to see it while staying at the Waterfront Centre. It seems the public can take tours and see around it when events aren't going on. There was a meeting of Liberals at the time...lots of suits around so we didn't get a chance to go in. It's pretty impressive and of course the setting on the waterfront is spectacular.

There are neat reflections off the glass...Vancouver mounted police were going by at the time.







My favourite Vancouver building is still the art deco Marine Building...getting a little crowded out but at least it's reflected in some of these new buildings as well.




And one of my all time favourite views of Vancouver are the "lions" on the mountains...looking quite wonderful that day. As a young child I think I believed they really were animals.
