Description
The Gastown steam clock on a foggy evening in Vancouver, photographed just after midnight. The streets were deserted on this cold, damp Sunday evening, a stark contrast to daytime when this clock is usually surrounded by tourists.
The clock is powered by Vancouver's centralised steam heating system, and marks every quarter hour (during the day) via the whistles on top of the clock.
