North Shore and Vancouver
as viewed from Harbour Centre Lookout

The Harbour Center Lookout observation deck is considered to be the premier viewpoint from which to view the area from the downtown core. It is located one block from water's edge and two blocks east of Canada Place. This group of images provides a 360 degree experience from this location with some close-ups of particular points of interest. They were shot over a period of years and some will be replaced due to the patterns created by the angles of the viewing deck glass.
