I was lucky to spend a couple of weeks in beautiful Vancouver, B.C., visiting relatives.<\/p>\n

I had not been in North America for a few years, and the modern architecture of downtown Vancouver provided an interesting change of scenery from the city where I currently live, Edinburgh, Scotland.<\/p>\n

Photographically speaking, the abundance of lines and shapes in downtown Vancouver made for interesting photo opportunities.<\/p>\n

I probably could stay at Canada Place and take pictures all day. The architecture of this building is fascinating.\u00a0 Canada Place is located on the waterfront and is the home of the Vancouver Convention Centre and Vancouver’s World Trade Centre.<\/p>\n

I also love to photograph reflections, and if you look for them in a modern city, they are nearly everywhere. Some of the glass covered buildings of downtown Vancouver reflected their surroundings in interesting ways on that sunny day.<\/p>\n

A standard creative exercise consists in combining ideas to create new ones. How about a combination of lines, shapes and reflections? Add colour and you are all set.<\/p>\n
