The Drop, Steel sculpture at Bon Voyage Plaza in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, Canada
The Drop stands 65 feet tall, constructed with a steel spine covered in Styrofoam and blue polyurethane, representing a water droplet at the moment of contact.
The German artist collective Inges Idee created this sculpture in 2009 as part of the Vancouver Convention Centre Art Project, marking their first North American installation.
This blue steel structure reflects Vancouver's relationship with water and precipitation, as the city experiences more than 162 days of rain annually.
Located at the end of Burrard Street along the waterfront, visitors can observe the sculpture from the sea walk, Convention Centre, or while cruising on Burrard Inlet.
The sculpture required temporary removal during the 2010 Winter Olympics because its position interfered with television camera views of the games.
