The Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver is one of those hidden gems frequented mostly by tourists. This is quite a shame since the park is a photographer's dream during the spring, summer and fall.

Smack dab in the center of the park is the Bloedel Conservatory. A gigantic geodesic dome used to house an incredible collection of plants as well as numerous wedding receptions.

Here's the conservatory on a sunny May afternoon looking very much like an alien flying saucer caught in the ever mysterious glow of Infra Red light.
