Canada 06 - Vancouver Lookout Tower
Trip we made in August and September 2015 across Canada. Viagem que fizemos em Agosto e Setembro de 2015 pelo Canada.
Harbour Centre is a notable skyscraper in the central business district of Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Lookout tower atop the office building makes it one of the tallest structures in Vancouver and a prominent landmark on the city's skyline. With its 360-degree viewing deck, it also serves as a tourist attraction with the Top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant, offering a physically unobstructed view of the city. During the dot-com boom of the 1990s, it served as the headquarters for several up and coming tech firms, including Stormix Technologies, NetNation and others. Harbour Centre opened in 1977.
Harbour Centre is located in Vancouver Harbour Centre
Location of Harbour Centre in Metro Vancouver
Designed by WZMH Architects, the building is listed as being 28 stories tall, though the tower/observation deck extends above the 28 office floors (claimed to be approximately 44 stories in total). There is some disagreement as to the building's height. According to the Vancouver Lookout's website the observation deck is 168 m (551 ft) above the 'street level'. The CTBUH however lists the buildings architectural height as actually being 147 m (482 ft).[1] Furthermore Skyscraperpage lists the buildings height to the roof as being only 139.6 m (458 ft).[2] This is stated to be the height from the Hastings Street entrance while the height from the back entrance on Cordova Street is 146 m (479 ft). It also lists the buildings pinnacle height to the tip of the antenna as being 170.1 m (558 ft).[2]
In any event it remains one of the tallest office buildings in the city. The building was British Columbia's tallest measured by pinnacle height until the construction of Living Shangri-La in 2009.
Harbour Centre is located at 555 West Hastings Street in Downtown Vancouver. It is steps away from Waterfront Station, a major multi-modal transit hub which serves as the Downtown Vancouver terminal for various TransLink operations including SeaBus, West Coast Express, SkyTrain, Canada Line and buses.
Simon Fraser University operates its downtown Harbour Centre campus in the adjoining Spencer building and houses the Center for Dialogue and Canadas World.
The downtown Simpsons-Sears department store was located here before it closed in 1987. There is also a red Santa hat on the spire that lights up during the holiday season.
Vancouver Coast Guard Radio operates from Harbour Centre, providing distress watch and vessel traffic services to the North Arm Fraser River, Burrard Inlet, Indian Arm, English Bay and Howe Sound.
O Harbour Centre é um arranha-céus, o terceiro mais alto da cidade de Vancouver, Colúmbia Britânica. A sua cúpula chega a uma altura de cerca de de 150 metros e pode-se chegar lá través de elevadores panorâmicos envidraçados. Conhecido também como Vancouver Lookout, foi inaugurado em agosto de 1977 pelo astronauta Neil Armstrong. Uma foto dele e a marca do seu pé provam a sua presença. A torre funciona o ano todo com informações disponíveis e guias, e é sede do campus da Universidade Simon Fraser.
Ryan Alexander's Exciting Trip to Downtown Toronto (Part 1 of 2)
On the weekend of July 16-17 2011, I went with my family to downtown Toronto to visit some old friends. It was an OUTSTANDING experience. I dropped in at HMV and Sunrise Records to get some vinyl and also shopped places such as the now-renovated Toronto Eaton Centre, the Atrium on Bay and the World's Biggest Bookstore. We went to the now-renovated Royal Ontario Museum, too! Best of all, I managed to grab a surprise front row spot in an open air Crash Test Dummies concert! This video shows highlights from my trip.
Wasaga Beach to Toronto: We want your help
In early 2017, a horrible article laced with negativity was published by the Toronto Star.
Shortly after, it was picked up by one of the biggest radio stations in the city (AM640, Mike Stafford Show), and for nearly an hour, Wasaga Beach was trashed in the media to potentially millions of people.
We want to show you that we are on the verge of something special and becoming more of what you'd expect from one of the most beautiful places in Ontario.
We are calling upon Toronto to help turn the negativity around, and resonate a positive message for our community. We have so much to offer, and we welcome you to come stay.
For more information about Wasaga Beach has to offer, and the beautiful changes that are about to happen, visit beach1.com

Some Fact Check Resources:
1. Headline: The Georgian Bay beachfront has seen a steady decline in tourism for years...
FALSE: Tourism in the Beach is not been on a steady decline at all. In 2016 alone, tourism grew by over 15%.
FACT: Tourism has been increasing over the last couple years at a steady pace and Wasaga Beach has one of the highest population growth rates for communities in Canada.

2. Headline: A new proposal to revive the town's fortunes has sparked division at city hall...
FALSE & MISLEADING: A few loud opposing residents in town hall meetings (around 10 people) create a ruckus at times, and media thinks there is a division at city hall. Every single solitary issue can be seen as having a division by definition if 1 person disagrees.
FACT: Councilors voted 7-0 in a landslide vote for the latest Downtown Master Plan to be seen through. Final Vote in late March.
FACT: Most of the town voted the current mayor for change and its happening. The town is very excited.
This is just the headline people. The article is laced with false, misleading, negative, politically agenda driven information. Please don't fall for click bait articles from the press. I know its hard, but it's despicable.

Manipur is a state in Northeast India, with the city of Imphal as its capital. It is bounded by Nagaland to the north, Mizoram to the south, and Assam to the west; Burma (Myanmar) lies to its east. The state covers an area of 22,327 square kilometres (8,621 sq mi) and has a population of almost 3 million, including the Meitei, who are the majority group in the state, Loi, Yaithibi, Kuki and Naga peoples, who speak a variety of Sino-Tibetan languages. Manipur has been at the crossroads of Asian economic and cultural exchange for more than 2,500 years. It has long connected the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and China, enabling migration of people, cultures, and religions.
The gears that I used for the shoot are :
Camera - Sony a7iii with 24-105mm F4 lens, GoPro hero6 (for timelapse)
Gimbal - DJI Ronin S
Mic - Rode video mic pro plus
Drone - DJI Mavic pro platinum
