False Creek
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city.
Once the False Creek area was the industrial heartland of Vancouver. It was home to many sawmills and small port operations, as well as the western terminus of the major Canadian railways.
Displayed on this pic you see the building of Science World, built on behalf of World Expo 86. Nowadays it's a science museum.
Three years ago I took exactly the same pic on exactly the same day.. Nothing 's changed... :-)
My first time on shooting from this side of Science World. Now that the Olympic Village is open, I will definitely come back.
My wife and I were shooting at the same location. Have a look at her stream, too.
Thanks everyone for their kind comments, faves and visits!
Telus World of Science/ Formerly the Expo'86 Centre
Vancouver, BC Canada
Science World at Telus World of Science, is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization.
This geodesic dome ( golf ball shaped ) building was constructed for Expo '86. It was opened in 1985 as the Expo preview center and became the Expo '86 World's Fair Centre.
The height is 155 feet tall with a foundation of reinforced steel in a cement slab.
The dome is supported by 182 piles
There are 391 lights and 766 triangles on the Science World dome.
Constructed using 15,000 pounds of extruded aluminium and aluminium panels on the dome. The panels are 1 mm thick and are covered with a vinyl surface.
Science World has a total building area of 10,220 square metres and a total exhibit area of 4,275 square metres. The building’s volume is 36,790 cubic metres.
The air-conditioning system uses chilled water for cooling and gas-fired boilers for heating.
The OMIMAX Theatre seats 400 people
The screen is 27 metres in diameter. The theatre’s sound system uses high-fidelity, six-channel, two-way sound with sub-bass to create an unparalleled surround sound experience.
I read that the 15,000 watt xenon lamp that lights the movie screen is so bright that if it was placed on the surface of the moon and focused it at a spot on Earth, you would actually see its light.

Captured from within the Telus World of Science.
This giant orange sculpture that looks like a question mark is an extension of the outdoor science park, exhibited by Science World and is one of five awe-inspiring pieces around the inlet of False Creek South.
This is Science World, a geodesic dome, built in 1977, designed by architect Bruno Freschi, and used for Expo '86. It is 17 storeys high, and holds a 400 seat theatre, with a 27 metre wide screen. It is one of Vancouver's most iconic sites. The dome lights up at night, photographed by many.
Most people shoot the entire dome along with the surroundings, but I wanted to zoom in on just a portion of it. If you zoom in, you will be able to see the lights, but obviously not lit during the day.
False Creek (French: Faux ruisseau) is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. While traveling along the south side of the Burrard Inlet, he thought he was traversing a creek; upon discovering his error, he gave the waterway its modern name.[False Creek].
Science World is a science centre [...] located at the eastern end of False Creek and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.] In 1986 it was the location of the Expo 86 World's Fair.
False Creek South is a neighbourhood that runs along the inlet starting under the Granville bridge and runs until under the Cambie bridge to the east Southeast False Creek (Olympic Village) starts from Cambie to main street. summarized from Wikipedia
Science World is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization called ASTC Science World Society in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.
Prior to the building being handed over to Science World by the city government in 1987, the building was built as Expo Centre for the Expo 86 world's fair. Following the end of Expo 86, the building was re-purposed as a science centre. The science centre opened on May 6, 1989, as Science World.[2] From 2005 to 2020, the museum was branded as Science World at Telus World of Science, before it reverted to its original name.

Science World and some False Creek condos in the night. The sky was heavy with dark clouds overhead as the wind started to kick it up. Luckily the rain didn't show.

Se promener à Vancouver... j'habite à Vancouver depuis plusieurs années et c'est etrange je n'avais pas encore porté attention à ces sculptures de scientifiques canadiens. Après une courte recherche , je constate que ces sculptures sont assez nouvelles ( 2016) Science World est un centre scientifique géré par une organisation à but non lucratif appelée ASTC Science World Society à Vancouver, Colombie-Britannique, Canada. Il est situé à la fin de False Creek et propose de nombreuses expositions et expositions interactives permanentes, ainsi que des zones avec des sujets variés au fil des ans.

Vancouver, BC on a cold and clear January night. Taken at False Creek back in January 2017. This is one of my best and favourite cityscape photos that I've taken.

"A balloon can be defined as an inflatable flexible bag filled with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or air. Modern balloons are made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene, metalized plastic or a nylon fabric," according scienceworld.ca. This one is made of latex and filled with air.
Crazy Tuesday: "Green" theme
False Creek
Vancouver
Canada
After 3 years I was back in Vancouver (where my son lives) and the first thing I did was strolling along False Creek, the short inlet that seperates downtown from he rest of the city.
What you see here is the building of Science World , built on behalf of World Expo '86. Nowadays it is a science museum.
The architect for the Science World dome was Bruno Freschi.
In the foreground three of the many small ferry boats that operate continuously on False Creek. These tiny ferries have stolen my heart, especially the ones of the False Creek Ferries fleet. :-)
The two sides of False Creek are full of interesting builidings and urban structures. For me however, it's the aquabus that's the most memorable! Aquabuses are those cute colourful boats providing ferry services for residents on both sides of the Creek. In this photo, I reduced most of the picture to almost black and white while leaving the cute boat still showing its colours, thus highlighting the sentiment that the charming boat in colour is the most vivid in my momories of False Creek, Vancouver BC.

The dome in this image was lit in red in honor of Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
