The Gastown Steam Clock

Gastown is Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood establishing itself in 1867. Today, these historic aesthetics prove a glorious backdrop for the photographer. Gastown's iconic steam clock turns 37 years old today, but it looks like it's been here for over 100 years. Very cool …

Wonderful to see. Thanks for sharing.
1 Are those stars , really? Amazing, if so.
2. Are those clouds that surround the clock or is the clock letting out steam (I've never seen a steam clock before)? FAV.
