October 12 A few Pics from False Creek

A little tidbit about the domed building between the two grey high-rise structures ..... have no idea why it is now brown ....... has always been a green dome in my memory .... still just visible from across the Creek

"This Beaux Arts structure was designed by W.T. Whiteway and built in 1911-1912. This structure succeeded the Dominion Building as the highest in the British Empire, a distinction held only for two years"



and to the left ...... Habitat Island:
a legacy project of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics .... the island was created in 2009 to compensate for fish habitat lost due to construction of Olympic Village ....... created to provide a refuge for both wildlife and pedestrians .... it also provides unobstructed views of Science World, English Bay and BC Place
