the day after i posted the image of the new shaw tower, the vancouver sun had an article about how it's sad that the marine building is now landlocked.

i took some photos of one of vancouver's most beautiful buildings the same day i shot the shaw tower:

these photos don't do much to capture the beauty of the stone work. if you aren't familiar with the building you should seriously pay a visit to the nw corner of hastings/burrard. a few years ago i helped build a network that runs right in front of the building, and was glad to spend a few days staring up at vancouver history.
