Another beautiful day here in Vancouver - slightly warmer than it has been as well. Walked across the river to downtown this morning, with the first destination being the Vancouver Art Gallery. Here there is no permanent collection on display but a collection of special exhibitions. At the moment the main focus is on feminist art (am obvious exhibition for a single male to visit!) - it included some good abstract art, but also in parts seemed as if it had been curated by a man...
For lunch the weather was so good that I was able to sit outside in a t-shirt. It was a good job the colours on the trees showed it was autumn, as otherwise I wouldn't know! After this I had a wonder through the main shopping district in the downtown area before stopping of at the Vancouver central library. This is an intriguing building built in a "Roman Colosseum" style. It apparently has a "green roof" as well, but you weren't able to go up and have a look at it!
