The drop
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit Vancouver, Where mountains meet ocean
Another original sculpture, placed along the harbour, here comes “The Drop”. You’ve no doubt heard about the city’s unflattering nickname of “Raincouver” for its notorious rainfalls. As a matter of fact, you’re in the third rainiest city in Canada, receiving over 162 days of rain a year, behind Abbotsford and Halifax. This fine, elegant drop of water is here to remind us that if Vancouver has such a beautiful, exuberant natural environment, it’s thanks to this wet blessing from the sky. This work of art was designed by a collective of German artists called Inges Idee, as part of a public art program commissioned by the City of Vancouver. This is their first Northern American project. A fine tribute to the power of nature! It had to be dismantled in 2010, as its enormous size was in the way of the television cameras during the Olympic Games.
