Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!).
Every now and then, I just have to say how grateful I am to be able to contribute to Vancouver Is Awesome through the Daily Flickr Pickr. Not only do I have the pleasure of seeing all the wonderful photos you readers submit to the pool, but I also never really know where a particular post will take me until I start digging in. Today is a good example; upon visiting the pool my curiousity was piqued by a thumbnail that appeared quite abstract and almost monotone. Had I not clicked on the photograph by wurkingartist I would not have heard about an interesting project called the Burrard Bridge Stairwell Project by Josh Hite and Scott Billings, with the help of many others (for more information, visit their blog HERE).
I'm interested in the results of the aforementioned project, but based on Inside the Burrard Bridge #7992, I'm at least as interested in the space itself: a public stairwell, an original feature of the Burrard Street Bridge, that quickly proved itself to be a rather secluded and unsafe place and was closed off within months of the bridge opening in 1932. Had I known about this project sooner I would have loved to enter the space myself, but instead I'll have to be satisfied with what I see from those who did have access, like wurkingartist's tasty urban abstract below, with hints of wonderful light and dusty, concrete tones.
Yup, pretty satisfied.
