After Work Photo Shoot

I was just going to get some video images of the Scotiabank tower. Instead I ended up with about 90 more images taken from around the Hudson's Bay Company department store, up Granville Street, up Smithe Street and then up Burrard.

I hardly ever walk by the HBC building and even then I don't pay too much attention to their window displays. But I found the current displays to be quite different and well done from a point of creativity. So I took the time to snap a few photographs of them. After I got home I realized the HBC's display windows are a bit of an oddity, if not a throwback to an era long gone by. The Sears (formerly Eatons) store basically looks like a giant bar of soap and as such doesn't have the large window display areas the HBC has. There are no other department stores downtown.

Anyways, the set for the photos from tonight is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8936205@N02/sets/72157612885185060/. Right now it just contains the ones I took of the HBC displays. I'll be uploading the remainder of them tomorrow.
