For a moment, I thought I was not in Vancouver.

The Waterfall Building does not look like a typical building you are likely to find in Vancouver. Maybe because of the glass windows, or the concrete walls and concrete tiles on the ground. This certainly does not remind me of Vancouver. And how refreshing to see this building. Continue reading

Was going to work on the weekend and on the way to find parking, I saw these autumn leaves being blown off the maple trees. Couldn’t help to stop the car and take some photos.

If you look closely, you will see leaves in mid air and the leaves on the branches are a bit blurry. It was a windy day. Continue reading
