This is the Telus Garden building in downtown Vancouver.
Kind of hard to explain when you can't see the entire building, but here I shot through a glass wall. Through it, you can see reflections and the glass curved ceiling (with patterns on the glass) and wooden ribs.
This office tower features 14,000 sq. ft. of green roofs, growing organic produce for local restaurants.
If you're curious about the building, here is some info on it, along with drawings of the building: henriquezpartners.com/projects/telus-garden/
This was the only morning during our stay that we had anything close to resembling a sunrise. The clock on the Wrigley Building gives a good estimation of when the sun rises in Chicago on this date.
The Chicago city skyline from Grant Park just before sunrise... but what... too many clouds for a sunrise to be seen. How unfair is that???
It's been a while since I last uploaded but I'm back! I have quite a few shots to share from America and Canada which was a fantastic experience.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Spring storm over Bris Vegas.

Mérida, México at dusk.
"We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But, whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust..."

Amersfoort is a very historic and atmospheric city east of Amsterdam. It has many beautiful medieval buildings that are well maintained. It is a busy place with just over 150,000 inhabitants.
The first villagers probably settled in Amersfoort around the 11th century, as it was a strategic location near a fortress in the river. This would most likely have been important for both trade and travel, as all travelers heading that way would have to pass through the village to cross the river.
Being in such a good trading location, the village grew and prospered quickly and soon more permanent buildings were established around the central area. The city was chartered to become a city in the late 13th century and soon the construction of the city walls began.
Construction of the new church began in the mid-15th century. this lasted well and the city continued to grow until 1787, there was a massive explosion in the church, which destroyed most of the main building. The high tower (Onze Lieve Vrouwe Toren - Lange Jan), with a length of almost 100 meters, has remained and still stands. Amersfoort had also become an important trade center for tobacco and textiles.
