Tuesday Walking Group 06Oct

Today my little group (Virginia, Lynn & I) went downtown as it was very sunny but cool. Well by the time we got downtown it was cloudy over & cooler!! We did a walk we had done before cause thinking it was to be a sunny day it would have been nice to walk along the waterfront. Wrong!! But we persevered.
We took the #20 Bus & then walked down to the convention centre. As we got there we spotted this first new piece of art called The Drop.
At 20 metres, it's one of the tallest public artworks in Metro Vancouver -- comparable to Janet Echelman's diaphanous Water Sky Garden at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The next pic is just around the corner from The Drop behind the convention centre. They are building a new water terminal for the float planes with an elevator eventually. The barge for the float planes was originally the but had been moved a bit further away & will be back in their spot in the coming year.

The last pic is of another new piece of art that originally first appeared in Germany in 2007 G-8 Summit.

Afterwards we left the area & made our way to Robson street to A Mcdonalds for a snack & Coffee to warm up. We all headed home afterwards.
