The same could be said of Toronto...

I wanted to capture the effect of Shangri-La slicing and cutting an arc through the blue sky so I tried some interesting angles.

The last pic introduces the bear. The BurjDubai Thread has a bear that drops by sometimes and says hello

so please join me in a hearty welcome for the Vancouver bear

You should have made him look like a suicidal jumper bear.

And maybe go for overkill and use one of the Olympic mascots. A symbol of Vancouver

Wouldn't it be cool to throw an orca off the building from the top floor?

I waited for just the right moment to get the sunlight reflecting off the angled glass! I was surprised that the reflected light didn't have a bluish or orangey tint to it as most tower glass is polarized and slightly colours reflected light...

rite, phil, u totoally read my lips. most of vancourites do not live in downtown, not to mention most do not live in condos. and most areas of vancouver didn't have much of a change. but it's only a matter of time when the city needs more buses or more roads to accomdate a growing population.
additionally, most of that change would be more condos. so, sights should change throughout the area in the next 20-30 years, when real change is coming.

It's so sexy

Ritz might be sexy but SL is more muscular and 17 meters taller.
