  • YVR-Airport station from below. This is how it looks for travellers entering from the international arrivals area.
  • Really the only ungraceful part of the YVR-Airport Station is how the guideway abruptly ends, just past the station platform.
  • Another view of the totem pole inside the Link Building, greeting passengers arriving on the Canada Line.
  • This view of the domestic terminal's new roof, in particular, evokes images of Eero Saarinen's Dulles Airport terminal near Washington, D.C.
  • Looking towards the end of the track from the platform at YVR-Airport Station. The Link Building, with its connecting bridge from the Canada Line station, is in the distance.
  • A new sculpture, just after security on C-Pier in the domestic terminal.
  • A new sculpture, just after security on C-Pier in the domestic terminal.
  • Two small totem poles guard the exit from the secure area, towards baggage claim.
  • The east end of C-pier got a makeover and a new, high roof around 1999. This area has now been extended a bit further east and opened up so it's visible after you pass through security.
  • New artwork in the rotunda, marking the beginning of the new part of C-pier.
  • A short staircase and a pair of inclined moving sidewalks replace the old ramp between the security area and departure gate level on C-pier.
  • Newer food court furniture at YVR now features electrical outlets for laptop computers.
  • The new food court in C-Pier.
  • The new food court on C-Pier features a Bread Garden "urban cafe".
  • One of the eateries in the new food court on C-Pier.
  • The new departure lounges in C-pier feature this rather ugly new fabric selection. I guess the pattern makes it easier to clean.
  • The western-most departure lounge on C-pier features this collection of First Nations drums.
  • A view across the tarmac back to the control tower, from the end of C-pier.
  • I call this the "ghetto lounge": a narrow space for the final two gates on the newly-extended C-Pier.
