Transformer-----When a Tower becomes a Tree

A regular Christmas Landmark for many years now has been the Telus Tower which is decorated with Christmas lights that when completely lit up shows off Christmas Trees from top to bottom . The building by the way is 33 stories tall.
Gorgeous . . must be so beautiful even from a distance. Do they keep these up year round or do them all over again each year?

Amazing! This is fantastic!

@karenann They keep the lights on the the building year round. They simply turn them on in the month of December

Wow! We don't even have anything like that going on in Vancouver! Very cool!
December 23rd, 2011  
that is a very simple and yet powerful decoration, especially 33 storeys high. i haven't been downtown in the evening so i have no idea if the telus tower here also has something. i should probably check it before the holidays are over.

@dora It looks great from the other side of the river. This is on the north bank and when you cross over it is nice to walk along Saskatchewan Drive on the south bank which has several lookout points to stop and see the skyline

@summerfield They do try to really decorate downtown for the holidays.

Cool shot and decorations. Reading about the 33 stories and seeing the lights from this perspective remind me that it's a good thing I do not have a job that requires being on scaffolding above city streets! I'm not even standing there and I've got butterflies in my stomach!
