When planning our recent vacation in Alaska, we decided to end our trip in one of my favorite cities, Vancouver. We elected to stay at the Pan Pacific Hotel that is part of Canada Place so we didn’t have to go very far when our cruise ship docked. We were very lucky to have some great weather and spent a lot of time exploring the city.
The last night of our stay, before we headed home, turned out to be the best night for shooting. There was a golden glow everywhere we walked and the reflections on the surrounding buildings were some of the best I have seen. This view is one of my favorites of the night and I took it as I was leaving the hotel. The hotel’s glass canopy with it’s geometric shapes nicely framed the buildings that surrounded the city block. As I processed the image, I noticed what I thought were halos but after careful inspection, they turned out to be reflections from the light on the glass.
Nice shot Len. I remember this place and you’ve captured it well. Vancouver is one of my favourite cities in North America.

Wonderful shot Len. I really like the way you’ve composed this and how the buildings pop through the canopy.

Wow, Len, I seriously enjoyed spending some quality time with this image, really incredible work my friend! LOVE the study of both the lines and the architecture of a place I know well.

Very cool composition. I love these shots through the glass. Vancouver is a beautiful city, despite having all my luggage stolen there.
