The Butchart Gardens is a group of floral display gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada, located near Victoria on Vancouver Island. The gardens receive over a million visitors each year. The gardens have been designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Robert Pim Butchart (1856–1943) began manufacturing Portland cement in 1888 near his birthplace of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. He and his wife Jennie Butchart (1866–1950) came to the west coast of Canada because of rich limestone deposits necessary for cement production. In 1904, they established their home near his quarry on Tod Inlet at the base of the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. #awesomepic#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#culturalattractions

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is a simple suspension bridge crossing the Capilano River in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The current bridge is 140 metres long and 70 metres above the river. It is part of a private facility with an admission fee, and draws over 1.2 million visitors per year. The bridge was originally built in 1889[2] by George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and park commissioner for Vancouver. It was originally made of hemp ropes with a deck of cedar planks, and was replaced with a wire cable bridge in 1903. In 1910 Edward Mahon purchased the Capilano Suspension Bridge. "Mac" MacEachran purchased the Bridge from Mahon in 1935 and invited local natives to place their totem poles in the park, adding a native theme. In 1945, he sold the bridge to Henri Aubeneau. #awesomepic#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#culturalattractions

This eye-catching new tower stands like an origami obelisk at the intersection of Vancouver's two city grids. The architectural sunshades on the residential tower's south and west facades are an iconic feature, lending both practicality and a unique identity to the building. The distinctive origami-like screens were inspired by the nautical surroundings – seagulls and seaplanes in Coal Harbour and the hang-gliders that can be seen catapulting off Grouse Mountain in the distance. #awesomepic #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
