Once a staple of North American architecture in the west, the false front buildings are close to being gone. This fine example in Carter, WY with its tall parapet wall extending high above the gabled roof protecting the rest of the structure may only have a few winters left.

The fire alarm went off at work today and the NYFD showed up. A little excitement in our day. One photo a day. Queens Library, Jamaica, NYC -- October 26, 2020

So I've deleted all my gallery. I needed something like a fresh start for my new camera and 2011.

There are continuously new buildings being constructed in False Creek. It's really changing the landscape of this area but the ocean doesn't seem to change too much.
Wildflowers in the yard today. False Aster, or Boltonia asteroides, is a small, delicate, white flower.

A view of railway marshalling yards in the East False Creek Flats near downtown Vancouver.
Besides railroad use the area has educational venues, office space, restaurants, a craft brewery, art galleries, car dealerships, storage lockers, Sky-train tracks and the Rocky Mountaineer Rail-tours terminal (top left corner).
False Creek Flats is the heart of Vancouver as it is here where the transcontinental railway finally found its terminus.
FLATS HISTORY
An area long identified by transportation and commerce, the present day False Creek Flats was a muddy tidal flat on the eastern end of False Creek until the early 20th century.
A rich variation of natural features, combined with various streams cutting down the southern boundary of the area, the flats provided diverse and abundant resources for the First Nations people of the area, including some of the largest salmon and trout runs in Vancouver.
As the industrial activity of Vancouver’s resource economy filled in the downtown peninsula and the shores of False Creek, the City sought to accommodate further economic expansion and additional rail terminals.
In 1913, at the urging of a number of rail companies, the City took a plebiscite to the people of Vancouver requesting support to fill the eastern end of False Creek.
Following a favourable vote, the filing in of the Flats began in 1915 utilizing a variety of materials from nearby districts including land fill from development projects, scrap lumber and bricks from surrounding mills, general industrial waste and fill removed from the Grandview Cut that brought the railway tracks down from Grandview district.
By 1917, the Flats were completely filed in and by 1919 both the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and Canadian Northern Railway (later to merge with others to become the federally owned Canadian National) had established their new western terminals in the False Creek Flats laying the foundation for the area’s industrial future.
The area’s post-fill history is intrinsically tied to that of the railway, ensuring the area to be well served by rail (including the British Columbia Electric Railway, Canadian National Railway, Great Northern Railway and later, SkyTrain and Rockymountaineer Passenger service.
As the importance of passenger and freight rail declined, cars and trucks became the more ubiquitous transportation modes in the city, converting the once rail-dominated composition of the Eastern Core into a mix of railway and roadway-based facilities.
The present landscape features an eclectic mix of residential, commercial and industrial zones; educational and institutional facilities; warehouses and artist spaces.
Despite the area’s newfound diversity, rail and transit remain as the literal and gurative centre of the area.
The False Creek Flats currently has four main rail yards, three of which are primarily used for goods movement for the Port of Vancouver operations on the south shore of Burrard Inlet.
The rail yards include;
CN Main Yard
This yard has traditionally been used as a support yard for container traffic. Rocky Mountaineer Tours also uses Main Yard for arrival and departure from its station.
BNSF Yard
This yard generally supports barge operations at Burrard inlet (top right in the photo).
Glen Yard
This is a smaller yard used primarily for staging grain and container cars. This one is to the top left out of the photo.
VIA Rail and Amtrak use the main station off Main Street for passenger arrival and departures (off to the left of this shot).

False Nightshade
Chamaesaracha is a genus of perennial herbs in the nightshade family which are known commonly as five eyes.[1] There are around nine species of five eyes, and they are native to the southwestern and western United States and parts of Mexico. These are hairy plants growing low to the ground and covered in crinkly dull green leaves. The flowers are star-shaped to wheel-shaped and their dried remnants can be found around the fruits, which are spherical berries filled with flat, kidney-shaped seeds.
Selected species:
Chamaesaracha coniodes — gray five eyes
Chamaesaracha coronopus — greenleaf five eyes
Chamaesaracha crenata — toothed five eyes
Chamaesaracha edwardsiana — Edwards Plateau five eyes
Chamaesaracha geohintonii[2]
Chamaesaracha pallida — pale five eyes
Chamaesaracha nana — dwarf chamaesaracha
Chamaesaracha sordida — hairy five eyes
Chamaesaracha villosa — TransPecos five eyes

It was a promising start to the sunrise this morning. But it was a false promise. And a matter of fact, I almost went with the “Runaway Sunrise” image. Throughout the morning, the color in the sky kept getting further and further away from the Sun.
I always hope people that view my pictures remember that it’s just a moment — the blink of an eye. I spend almost two hours at the lake every morning. Each morning is beautiful. Watching a sunrise is a hopeful way to start the day. I get to see the barn swallows skim the water, listen to the bluebirds, watch the heron pass by the moon, hear the slap of the beaver’s tail and see the ripples spread from the jumping fish. As hard as I try, I can’t catch it all in a picture.
