John, It could very well be a tram station. I took a photo yesterday but I
won't get the results back for a couple of weeks. And I don't expect very good
results as I only had a monopod. All that is visible of downtown is the high
rises and towers of the Lion's Gate. Where I'm working next week looks right
down on Vancouver so maybe I'll get a better shot weather permitting. By the way
your url doesn't work for me.
