Roundhouse

This is the former Canadian Pacific roundhouse in Vancouver’s Yaletown district, captured with a sweep of my iPhone’s camera in “panorama” mode.
It was really interesting to try this, because the roundhouse is built in the shape of an arc … so if you’re standing at the centrepoint of the arc and you swivel to capture the panorama, the main subject doesn’t look very distorted at all, while everything else does.

Hungry birds

These stickers are all over the public market at Granville Island in Vancouver. Apparently the gulls are voracious to the point that vendors need to be explicit about not refunding patrons for food lost to hungry birds.
