Night, Totem pole, GM pavillion, Expo 86, May 8, 1986

            1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication, or simply Expo 86, was a World's Fair.

False Creek, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 

"The GM pavilion  was a 30 metre high wedge shaped structure resting on a tubular truss frame. At night, the giant red wall overlooking the water was one of the most recognizable landmarks at Expo 86.

Ramps wound up the side of the building leading to the "Spirit Lodge" where visitors were suddenly taken out of the high-tech world of Expo 86 and into what appeared to be an ancient longhouse overlooking the local rain forest.  The scent of fresh cedar permeated the room.

As the spectators settled into place, they saw in front of them a totem standing in the forest.  A camp fire was smouldering in the foreground. "
