Old Station Panorama Photo

Photographer’s Note

Old Canadian Pacific railway station. Built between 1912 and 1914, this was the western terminus of the Trans-Canada railroad. Regular passenger service ended when Pacific Central station opened, replacing this historic depot. In the 1976, the CP station was converted into retail and office space, and later a transit hub, now known as "The Station".

Great shot Yip!

Very original angle of the station. I visit this station almost every time I'm back home in Canada. Either hopping the seabus, or the Harbour Lynx ferry to Nanaimo.
Great shot, you got me wondering which building you captured this from.

Well done;
- Dan

Hello David, thanks for sharing this beautiful night shot of the grand old railway station in downtown Vancouver. I like the sense of curvature you have gotten here with the panorama stiching. Will have to check out that parking lot perspective next time I am there!

Bonjour David
I'n quite fond of panorama pictures because they are much informant.
This one is a masterpiece of lighting and point of view.
I would have prefer, though, some kind of straightening in post processing.
Bravo.
