This monument is dedicated to Terry Fox.







This is an example of some of the older architecture in Vancouver.



This hotel is in a bit of a triangular shape.



Vancouver is a crossroads for many immigrants.  Often when they arrive they build churches and other buildings in the same style as they are used to.  This church is built in the Gothis style.



This is Victory Square, a little park with Vancouver's war memorial.  The wreaths were placed there a few weeks ago to commemorate the people in BC who have lost their lives on the job in the past year.



This is the Sun Building.  It was originally owned by the Vancouver Sun, the local newspaper.  When it was built it was the tallest building in Vancouver.  The offices were up top and the printing presses were down below.  There are nine statues of women around the building, symbolizing the nine Muses of Greek mythology, and the roof is made of copper.  It has been climbed by Harry the Human Fly and Houdini escaped from a straightjacket suspended from the roof.
