makeshift

the Vancouver Convention Centre, closed of course to events and thereby heavily impacting the local economy, has been converted to a makeshift hospital...that is to provide beds in the event of a surge in Covid-19 cases, which luckily has not happened

a building with a beautiful and futuristic architecture,
here the decisions are made enough in advance to have spaces to accommodate the patients of covid 19.

Glad to hear they didn’t need to use it. Nice how it is right on the water.

A fine composition in b&w!

Neat shot of the Centre - works well in B&W. Let's hope we can maintain the trend. V

I glad it hasn’t been needed for that. It looks like a fortress with those “teeth.” V

Wonderful that it has not been needed but inspiring that so many are there when needed!
This is a fine looking monochrome with a mood!

Better to be prepared. May it go back to it's original use before too long.

A nice well composed B&W image David.

A fine shot of this lovely building!

No-one ever thought the center would be used as an emergency hospital.

Beautiful light and tones of b&w. V.

A fine composition ! V.

Well-framed and great tones. COVID-19 is insidious.
Nick Paoni29-Apr-2020 19:09
Cool shot with those mono tones. Luckily the worst of the projections have not come to fruition, at least not yet.
Walter Otto Koenig29-Apr-2020 18:57
I like your perspective and crop. Works well in b&w.

so glad to hear that it has not been used.V

Great image of it, lets hope it is not needed for its new temporary use.
Blandine Mangin29-Apr-2020 17:24
beautiful ! v

Good composition to show the Centre and surroundings. "V"
Helen Betts29-Apr-2020 17:07
Fine POV for the convention center, and encouraging to hear it's been put to good (alternative) use.
Johnny JAG29-Apr-2020 16:54
Better to be ready, just in case. We have several of these temporary hospitals but only the one in London has been used.

AT least they are prepared. Excellent composition and B&W translation. ~BV~
