Vancouver is known as the City of Glass for the dozens and dozens of greenish glass towers that line the city's attractive streets. The thing that is so unique about this photo is that the city appears gunmetal grey when in reality it's overwhelmingly aquamarine.

I was headed to the Alibi Room in the Gastown section of Vancouver for brunch with friends after a walk along the Stanley Park Seawall when I caught this unusual look.
