Vancouver-City of Glass

This image was taken just after sunrise and shows why Vancouver is often called the city of glass. That is the Olympic (2010) Cauldron in the center of Jack Poole Plaza. John W. “Jack” Poole, OC, OBC was a Canadian businessman who, as the head of the VANOC bid committee, was responsible for bringing the 2010 Winter Olympics to Canada.
He died of pancreatic cancer shortly after midnight on October 23, 2009, hours after the Olympic Flame was lit at the beginning of the 2010 Winter Olympics torch relay, in Olympia, Greece.
