With the promise of keeping it quiet, I was informed of some private, special-event fireworks that were going to take place in front of the Vancouver Convention Centre. With only one other colleague of mine attenting, I went out to photograph the fireworks from Canada Place, with the hope of looking back towards the neighbouring Vancouver Convention Centre as in photo #5. However, when I spotted the fireworks barge being towed into place, then stopping some distance away, I ran back to the view in photo #6 and stayed there for the 10 or so minute duration of the event.
