Vancouver 30 (15 of 30)

This urban sector known as Gastown, consists of older buildings that represents the city roots as an important trade hub in the northwest.  Today, the architecture, combined with the cobble stones roads makes this location an attractive night spot for residents and tourists.

 The surrounding city illuminates with a contrasting background of moving cloud and fog that is lit up by a nearby sky resort.

The feeling you get when you've finally arrived.  If you've never been to Vancouver, entering the city on Granville bridge is like a grand entrance into a scene.  A place unfamiliar can often feel out in the distance but that feeling can be absolved to greater heights during the first glance of a picturesque view that is just a moments pass from the bridge.  This place feels familiar, where the ideas of urban character have advanced into something positively fresh, safe, and promising.  I composed this shot to trace all the energy and directional space from the rail down the center core and using long exposure to generate streaking lights from passing automobiles.

I finally completed and rendered my Vancouver collection and thus the title the Vancouver 30 series.  Lets get inspired!!

In my limited travel experience, I've yet to encounter a city that has this much sense of clarity, a continuous theme throughout this urban landscape series.  I enjoyed this view from the Vancouver lookout tower.
