I was shooting another building downtown, looked across the street, and saw the lamp post seemingly framing this pinkish highrise.
I appreciate the name suggestions, but Ted tells me the name of this building is the same as the address: 1500 Alberni.

A single seed. I find it amazing to be able to see the detail of the seed as the light interacts with the organic material!

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Albert Einstein

Coronae are the rings of light around the moon. These rings of light visible around a luminous body of the moon is a result of optical effects caused by thin cloud, water droplets, or ice in the Earth’s atmosphere. Coronae are very small in sizes. A typical corona is only couple degrees in diameter and closely borders the moon. Although not as intense as a solar rainbow, coronae may appear in several colours. On rare occasions, lunar halos and lunar coronae can appear together.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if you are on the outside looking in or on the inside looking out.

Halo (from Greek ἅλως, halōs [1]) is the name for a family of optical phenomena. Halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky. These are part of the sky. Halo types are the circular halo (well called the 22nd halo), light pillars and sun dogs, but there are many more; some of them fairly common, others (extremely) rare.
