O, Canada

Canada Place, with its iconic white sails, is located in the heart of Vancouver’s downtown harbor front. It was opened during Expo ’86 and includes the Pan Pacific Hotel, World Trade Centre, Convention Centre and serves as the main cruise ship terminal for the region, where most of the cruises to Alaska originate or terminate. On this morning, we were coming to the end of our Alaskan cruise that we took this past summer. We had a wonderful time in Alaska and the subsequent cruise down the inside passage. Vancouver is a fantastic place to visit and we were really looking forward to our 3-day stay in Vancouver. As the cruise ship began to position to dock, I fired off a 5-bracket burst and this is the result.

  7. We had a great time in Vancouver and then drove right up through BC from Banff, through Jasper to Prince Rupert and picked up the ferry down to Port Hardy. An excellent trip but didn’t seen any whales. This is a great composition.

  8. Love the composition especially the contrast between the bright buildings on the pier and the more muted skyscrapers in background.
