Today's photo was shot by Jamil Rhajiak and is of the Bronze Angel statue scuplted by Coeur de Lion McCarthy and erected in 1921 at Waterfront Station to commemorate Canadian Pacific Railway employees killed during World War I. A photo of the statue made it's way onto the cover of Seattle's Sunny Day Real Estate's The Rising Tide album released in 2000. As the story goes, they were recording in Vancouver and loved the statue so much they wanted it on the album cover. There must be more to it than that though, anyone have more insight?
