When everything gets destroyed, we have plaques for that, too.

The plaque in the picture below is on a building at the corner of Homer and Drake in the Yaletown area of downtown Vancouver.

8C and overcast in K-W this afternoon. This slow spring has taken away about two thirds of the snow now, without any flooding in the Region, which is good.

Nice Montreal set. Sometimes you have to get away from the Plateau, eh?

Funny though, none of my 69 posts on this forum were about the Plateau + I have never lived there. Only 5 out of the hundreds of pictures I posted were showcasing le Plateau...

Aerial view of Halifax, looking southeast. The downtown area is somewhat compressed but you can see a lot of detail in the North End on the left.

Sorry, I was trying so hard to get a good angle on that view of Georgia Street but those darn cherry blossoms kept getting in the way.

That's such a great location for a stadium.

That's funny because looking at the second pic in his post I could very well see someone making the opposite remark...

Oh, unless of course you're talking about the Molson stadium, not the Olympic one (which is the one we call just "the Stadium").

Was talking about this one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131161902@N05/16280877349/in/photostream/ (Molson - not that the Olympic Stadium's is bad either though, sure beats the sea of parking lots that surround most North American stadiums)

I've been back to look at that MTL post three or four times. I love it. The city and the photography style. Looks amazing.

Yeah, I had guessed as much when I edited my post to add the second line.

You can see both in this shot -- in that view the Olympic Stadium seems a bit remote to serve as a downtown venue, but the Molson's location, nestled at the foot of the mountain, is indeed as appealing as in other shots.
