^Nice. Whereabouts was it taken?

Found this nice old pic of downtown on flickr. It didn't supply an accurate date of when it was taken (it said 2008) but it would appear that you can see One Wall Centre under construction so it must be from sometime around 2000/2001. There sure has been a lot of change since then.

^^ Was taken from a building at 16th ave facing towards the East. Btw, look at all the gas stations that were there back then...

Wow, Coal Harbour looks totally different now and just the recent past.

The ever-changing face of Vancouver.

The logo for Canada Trust is still atop one of the Bentall towers. That should serve as a point of reference.

Why are all of the flourescent lights green in this picture? Could it be a filter on the camera or did the old wasteful flourescent lights really have the hue?

Marriot Pinnacle not built, so we know this is before 2000.

Also, The Palisades is not in the picture, so we know this is around or before 1996. Since the old Pacific Palisades building was demo'd in 1994 and is not present in this picture, this looks like it is The Palisades that is under construction. Therefore, 1996.

Palisades would be off the pic to the right - you can see the HSBC building at Bute & Georgia - Palisades is west of that (same block as Residences on Georgia). I think Palisades pre-date One Wall (but Residences on Georgia may be after One Wall since it should be visible on that corner?).

[Cypherus]

^You're right.

However, Marriot Pinnacle isn't even built, so at least we know this is before 2000, and thus, before One Wall was built in 2001. The Palisades were built in 1996.

Hmm, I actually kind of prefer that skyline shot. Someone mentioned this before but having darker towers on the waterfront makes the skyline seem "bigger".

[Pinion]

It's strange, I've lived on the North shore for over 20 years, travelled across Burrard inlet by Lions Gate or Seabus almost every day, and I can't even remember when those boat gas stations disappeared. I remember them being there, but honestly I don't even know if some are left?! They seem so politcally incorrect now.

Will have to check on my way home today. :/

^ That rainbow isn't exactly going to a pot of gold... unless you consider a pot of gold to be a sewage treatment plant.
