A special Vancouver way to recycle

A special Vancouver way to recycle.  This previously useful building is being re purposed into a form of mixed material landfill, all, apparently without benefit of a building permit, as the stop work order on the door indicates:  

"Demolition to site without Demo permit" 

I wonder if the city is going to make them put it back together.  It takes such a long time to build and such a short time to destroy.

Eagle and Child - Bird and Baby

It was around this time of year 2009 that my family and I traveled to the UK.  We still remember a memorable lunch of steak and ale pie  at the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford.  The food was delicious, as the photo attests.

jagged roof lines

When walking down by the Fraser River with Karen and Jersey, I just had to take the picture of these rooflines.  I wondered if the condos in the front row had their rooves put on the wrong way around.
