I think BC place is easily the nicest Canadian stadium, but I agree that it isn't great looking, all the masts look kinda strange, but it sure does look good lit up at night!

People say Vancouver is just green glass and same-height towers, but there are plenty of layers in Downtown.

Great shot. I guess one problem I see from the air is the lack of a prominence. Its hard to pin point a central node.

Central Park and Mount Royal were designed by the same architect.
