Downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada,

This is an alley from Richard St, between West Pender and Hastings st. I found it interesting to see the old buildings hidden, although I have passed this alley many times.

Not many old buildings in this picture, except for Sun Tower (built in 1912) partly hidden by the trees on the right. I took this shot from Georgia Viaduct (built in 1913-15).

They managed to save the old building on the corner of Homer St. and West Pender St., when the large condo building was constructed. As a matter of fact, the old building became part of the new one. I wish this could have been the case and preserved some history of the old Vancouver when the City Council approved the construction of the many new structures in downtown Vancouver.
