Mosaic

Another mosaic from my wanders-about-town. This one's at the corner of Robson Street and Burrard Street - one of the busiest intersections in downtown Vancouver. Which means I have walked past it a kajillion times and never noticed it before. It's part of this series, and is called Sounds Around Town.

Spanning Time

Another of the mosaics installed by the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association. I keep meaning to look up their locations and go photograph them and instead I just kind of stumble on them randomly as I'm going about my business in the downtown core. Fortunately I've had my camera with me most of the time. This one's called Spanning Time and is a stylized view of the Lions Gate Bridge. It's near the corner of Georgia Street and Howe Street, just steps away from where I took this photo.

Opportunity

Another mosaic, this one at the northwest corner of Burrard Street and Dunsmuir Street, in the heart of downtown's business district. This one's called Sea of Opportunity. It's a part of this series.

Transportation

More mosaics - more things you don't notice when you're driving. When I was looking up information on the last mosaic I stumbled across, google told me about another mosaic project in downtown Vancouver, this one instigated by the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association. There are 18 of these mosaics in total, each one approximately one square metre. They were created by mosaic artists Liz Calvin and Bruce Walther. This one's called Transported Through Time, and is situated near the corner of Burrard Street and Smithe Street.
