That photo is the exact view from the balcony of a guy I was dating a few months ago.  I work a block from Wall Center, the tall glass building in the center.

  Nice shot.  The night view is wicked.

[Sportsdude]

I think its the archetictual design of the buildings that gets me.  I've always been a fan of super modern and glass structures.

I love looking at architecture, however I do find that what is going on currently leaves a lot to be desired, especially in Yaletown.  Most of the buildings are getting pretty boring and it's beginning to have a rather homogenized look with little personality.  Pale blue/aqua steel and glass..  I like to wander around in the West End since there is still a great variety of building styles and ages.  [FONT color=#0080ff][A href="http://www.lm-horizons.com/vancouver%20library.jpg"]This [/A][/FONT]is one of my favorite buildings in Vancouver though, by far.

I agree with you about that building.  I thought it was a very clever idea for a library.

Curses, you're right.
And sometimes it's hard to see something from the inside.
Is that why you like being an outsider?

 My questions are:
 
 Why Canada?
 Why not Australia or Britain, like most Americans?
 
 Why Vancouver?
 Why not Toronto, Ottawa, Québec...?
 
 If you're going to pick a place you've never been, Vancouver is a pretty interesting choice. And you seem so committed to it as well.
 
 Just curious.

It may be that Sportsdude is wise enough to know that Canada is the promised land.

[Trollio]

Yeah, but what if somebody promised you Surrey?  

[Gopher]

With a fringe on top?

[kitten]

Would that be considered fringe benefits?

[Trollio]

 I'm not sure the fringe would make much of a difference.    

[Gopher]

You're right. Canada doesn't have a fringe and it's still the promised land.

Has Harper promised it to the U.S.?
