Vancouver's Olympic Cauldron

Today's Scenic Sunday post highlights some city scenery, this time in Vancouver. The most recent Winter Olympics were held there, and here are a couple of photos of the Olympic Cauldron, in the downtown area by the waterfront.
Stop by on Monday to see this at night, when it's illuminated very nicely.

    I watched the Olympics religiously and I do remember this from the opening/closing ceremonies! I love your first photo with all the buildings behind it!

    Marvelous captures, Al, as always! I, too, love the play of light on the buildings in the first shot. Hope you and Socks have a great weekend! Have fun!!

    I like the close up view.
    Is it not lit up as an eternal flame?

    Lovely pictures! :) I'm not so interested in watching sport games, so I did not follow it much.. But I saw the town and surroundings (right, on TV)

    All very futuristic. The cauldron seems to have worn better than some Olympic leftovers.

    The buildings feel nearly as if they were alive.


    Please have you all a good Sunday.
