January 28th, 2010







If you are visiting Vancouver make sure you go at least once on the Aqua bus or ferries at False Creek and Granville Island. They are a great way to get across the water of False Creek and connect with the Westend, Yaletown, Granville Island and more. Plus look how cute they are. Friendly service and a unique experience when visiting Vancouver. You also get some great views of the south False Creek area and their condo buildings as well as Granville Island and the Athlete's Village for the Olympics.

If you look at the third picture from the top showing a small red Aqua bus in the foreground you will see the just completed building - The Erickson. It was designed and named after the late and truly great Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. He has been the archtiect of many buildings in Vancouver including Robson Square, The Macmillan Bloedel building the soon to start Ritz Carlton tower and more. This one though is one of my favourites for its twisting style. In the shot you can see the building as well as the stone front townhouses that circle the building.
