These are two photos taken from the roof of our Capital Point project (office strata) in Burnaby, BC. They represent the views from about 19 storeys up. In the first photo you can see downtown Vancouver and the mountains that surround it. And in the second photo you can see the Metrotown town center (second largest in the region) and the SkyTrain station that services it. It’s certainly hard to beat British Columbia on a beautiful sunny day.

This morning I watched the sun rise from the the roof of Ten York Condominiums, some 735 feet up. This is what that looked like (the sky initially had a purple hue to it):

It was cold as all hell, but sometimes you have to work for your photos.

Some of you may also remember that I wrote about this building a few months ago. Tridel, the developer, is calling the project its first “smart condominium.”

Regular scheduled programming will resume tomorrow.

Tonight I went a photography heli tour with @normandthegang. 

I took almost 500 photos, including a bunch of aerials of our development sites. And we got lucky with a pretty spectacular pink sunset. 

Here is a photo that I took of the CN Tower with my Fuji X Series (35mm prime lens):

Lake Ontario actually looked like that. This is not post-production chicanery. Follow me on Instagram to see the rest of the photo series.

Thanks again for the invite Norm. That was a lot of fun.
