Acrylic on Canvas, 18 "x 24"

Another quintessential Vancouver scene: Science World, located at the easternmost edge of False Creek. This mirrored dome was built back in 1986 for Expo and is one of my son's favorite places to go. It is now known as "Telusphere" due to corporate sponsorship, but hopefully that does not extend to painting titles. It'll always be Science World to me.

There's a lot of up-and-down tumbling movement to this one, like hyped-up kids on sugar. As usual, no deep meaning, just fun.

I know, I remember the stink it raised when they went with that awful name, they wound up changing it to "Telus World of Science" but even to Skytrain it's still "Science World" (they never rechristened the station to reflect that, a rare thing for Skytrain to do IMO)

I think people had a hard time pronouncing "Telus Sphere". Telus World of Science is better, if still a mouthful.

Meh. It'll always be Science World, no matter which corporation sponsors it.

/curmudgeonly grumble.

I could pronounce it, but I really hated it.

Yeah, I don't know why they took the name "Science World" away, maybe it's a legal thing.
