Vancouver Architecture

Some quick shots. From top to bottom, The Vancouver rowing club building.
Reflections of one tower in another.
A building called the Qube. Fully supported at the bottom by the central core with no glass curtain walls on the lower floors. Looks very unusual.

Vancouver things in the air

A skein of geese over the river and a floatplane (DHC-3 Turbine Otter) taking off. The floatplane area is packed, lots of tourists, there seemed to be a takeoff about every 10-15 minutes. There were also some nice radial powered DHC-2 Beavers.

Spent the afternoon at the Vancouver Aquarium

I spent some time at the Vancouver Aquarium in the afternoon. The pictures are :
Pipe eels
Caiman
A Beluga whale.
-----------
The Aquarium has a number of outdoor pools for their larger mammals which include, not only the Beluga, but a number of smaller dolphin types.
