Interesting places in Burrard Street Bridge:| Western Overhead Gallery | Eastern Overhead Gallery | |
The Burrard Street Bridge is an Art Deco, six lane bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia that spans False Creek connecting downtown to Kitsilano. The bridge is embellished with imposing concrete towers, torch-like entrance-pylons, and sculptural details. Unifying the parts are heavy concrete railings, originally topped by decorative street lamps. Busts of Captain George Vancouver and Sir Harry Burrard jut out from the bridge's superstructure (a V under Vancouver's bust, a B under Burrard's). * Architect: G.H. Thornton Sharp * Engineer: John R. Grant

Jeez, I'm having fun with this Vimeo-Flickr integration tool! Peter Bjorn & John's The Chills popped on my nano when I got onto the bridge, and the first thing I thought of doing was run with my camera. I never engage in any form of exercise, so making it halfway across this beast of a bridge was a feat in itself. This is a video clip. You can watch it on Vimeo: vimeo.com/168838/l:flickr
