Vancouver at Night - a photo on Flickriver

Vancouver at Night

SOOC
Taken from my balcony with the 300. I love all the colours!
The red bit over on the left is a partial view of BC Place Stadium (where the BC Lions play).

The tower in the centre has a great observation deck with fabulous views. The tower to the right of it is Granville Square -- home to The Province and The Vancouver Sun newspapers.

The colourful sails* are part of Canada Place, which has the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel, Vancouver's World Trade Centre, and our cruise ship terminal. It is built to look like a ship.

On the roof of the Pan Pacific Hotel are the Heritage Horns -- 10 air horns that sound the first four notes of O Canada every day at noon. Yup, every time I hear our national anthem, I get hungry.

*They completed a sail restoration project just this week. Upgraded LED lighting technology provides brighter colours and increases the intensity of light projections, allowing for more imagery.

According to the press release: "Port Metro Vancouver is offering local charities and non-profit events the opportunity to build awareness for their cause or organization by illuminating the Sails of Light at Canada Place in appropriate colours of their choice."
