We're facing East in this photo.
The brick building (on the left) is the old Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Station and was built by that same company in 1914. It is now known as the Waterfront Station where you can catch the trains and boats for our local transit system, specifically the Skytrain, Seabus or the Westcoast Express.
This is where I first set foot in Vancouver, B.C. in 1966. There used to be a hotel right next to the parking structure across the street where the tall building is now. That is where we lived for about a month until we got a more permanent residence. My brother and I used to play in the parking structure and explore the back lanes. Those were the days when a 9 year old didn't have to worry about being kidnapped and killed.
If you follow the street straight ahead and turn left when it splits off to Water St. then you will be entering Gastown, big tourist destination and home to the famous Steam Powered Clock.
If you turn right on any of the cross streets you will be heading into the heart of Downtown Vancouver BC. Burrard Inlet is off the photo to the left.
I find it interesting that almost everyone ignores the light for the crosswalk on the left side of the photo, even though the crosswalk is extremely well marked.

Santa Monica doesn't screw around when it comes to parking structures: They have the multi-colored, eco-friendly Santa Monica Civic Center Parking Structure by Moore Ruble Yudell, and now there's Studio Jantzen and Behnisch Architekten's Parking Structure 6, another green garage, which looks to have taken inspiration from Paris's famous Centre Pompidou. Opened December 2013 with much fanfare, Structure 6 offers panoramic ocean views from the top of its eight stories, holds 744 cars and dozens of bikes, and includes electric vehicle charging stations, plus groundfloor retail space; there are also solar panels and those striking red staircases that allow easy access to every floor. Parking Structure 6 replaces a shorter and blander garage that held 400 fewer cars.
I just completed my first year on flickr, I have enjoyed my time here a great deal and look forward to what the next year brings. I hope I can learn as much in my second year of photography as I have in my first.
This is a fisheye shot from Petco Park down 7th avenue in San Diego.
Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy and one of the main hubs of the slave trade in the first part of the 19th century doesn't have a slavery museum. It has lots of museums though - a Holocaust Museum, the Confederate White House, and lots of statues for southern civil war heroes.
And, oh yes, I does have a slavery-themed reconciliation statue, isn't it nice? It's located on a triangle between a parking structure and a freeway exit, a place much visited by the homeless and, I guess, by relatives visiting inmates in the nearby City Jail.
Any guess, anyone, concerning the ethnicity of almost all of the homeless panhandling there, and of almost all of the inmates?
The newest parking structure in Santa Monica is one of the first "Green" certified buildings in town.

The Hecht Department Store opened its first suburban department store in Virginia in 1951 in the Parkington Center out in Arlington County, Virginia. Hecht's was designed by Abbott, Merkt and Company. The building is still a department store as a Macy's and Parkington Center is now Ballston Quarter.
A reflection of the Bunker Hill West apartment building in the LAUSD parking structure on Beaudry. Different glass reflects the straight laces differently.
