The cauldron is located on the west side of the International Broadcast Centre at Jack Poole Plaza at Canada Place. The location offers a scenic backdrop that includes a floating set of Olympic rings off Stanley Park in Coal Harbour and the North Shore mountains in the distance. The plaza is officially dedicated in memory of Jack Poole; the founding chairman of VANOC’s board of directors. Poole passed away in October 2009 just hours after the Olympic Flame was lit in Greece signaling the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay. The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) designed and fabricated the cauldron. |

English Bay is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, west of the downtown peninsula, which separates the bay from Burrard Inlet connecting to the northwest, and False Creek to the southeast. English Bay Beach, near the city's West End residential neighbourhood, is the most popular sunbathing, swimming, and sunset-watching beach in the downtown Vancouver area. Designated a quiet beach, Sunset Beach is a less populated jewel of a sandy spit situated in the West End near the Burrard Street Bridge and the new Downtown South/Yaletown neighbourhoods. |

I took this stitched image from the top of Mount Victoria, Wellington New Zealand. The area covered stretches from the open sea (Cook Strait) on the left, to Wellington's natural harbour (Port Nicholson) on the right. The circular green area is the cricket ground known as the 'Basin Reserve'. The interisland ferry 'The Interislander' can be seen on the extreme left; also partly visible at the bottom left is the 'Byrd Memorial' which commemorates the Antarctic explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd. The round metallic structure on the right side of this image is the sports stadium locally known as the 'Cake Tin', it holds 35000 people. Above the 'Basin Reserve' on top of the hill is an experimental wind turbine. The big building, situated on the left edge of the harbour, is New Zealand's National Museum, known as 'Te Papa'.
