Dwayne:
I was in Vancouver a few years ago and saw this magnificent building
personally. You have done a great job capturing its essence. I wish I
would have had more time to study it because it is such a striking building.
Vancouver itself is an architectural bounty (can you tell I really liked the
city?).
BTW, in the old town section by the river (I can not remember the name right
now but it is the oldest section of town), there is a toy and hobby shop
that had lots of older sets when I was there. I picked up some old castle
and space from the early to mid 90s. If any in Vancouver hasn't gone there,
I encourage you to do so. I just wish when I was there that I would have
purchased more (they had a few old Spyrius sets that I passed on).
Anyways, great job on the Library. What's next, the Lionsgate Bridge?
