Description This is the view at the bottom of Main Street near Crab Park and the railway yard looking west at sunset.

Vancouver is sometimes called “Terminal City” because it is the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It’s also as far west as you can get before you hit the Pacific Ocean.

“Terminal” has a few different meanings. As a noun, a terminal can be the endpoint of a railway or route, a conduction point for electricity, or a place where information is entered. When applied to humans as an adjective, terminal means that one has an incurable condition and is approaching death.

Vancouver is a city of beginnings and endings. But, oh, the sunsets.

This city is on my bucket list; and you sure make it look good. I've family and friends in the Sea-Tac area, so I am hoping we'll make it one day.

Marvelous! I love how you designed the buildings, especially how they carve on the far left.
