Fly me to the moon

The beautiful almost Pink Moon at sunset seen from my area in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

 

 

About this photo: We just got home from a walk as I saw this almost pink full moon in the sky from our back yard. It looked so pretty that I grabbed my camera to take a few photos of it.

 

As I was about the press the shutter, I spotted a plane approaching. I figured I would wait a few seconds to see if the plane would pass in front of the moon...and to my delight it did! And that's when I hit the shutter, only one shot and that was it. Not the clearest of shots, but I am happy with it.

Some information on New Westminster: New Westminster is a city that belongs to the Greater Vancouver area. New Westminster is located about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver along the Fraser River. This beautiful city is also called "The Royal City". The city also reminds people of San Francisco, especially because of the steep hills in town. So be prepared for those hills!

 

New Westminster was founded by the Royal Engineers under the command of Colonel Richard Clement Moody, and named by Queen Victoria after her favourite neighbourhood in London, Westminster. It is also the oldest city in western Canada and it was the capital of British Columbia between 1858 and 1866.

 

Located right in the middle of the Greater Vancouver network today, New Westminster is a charming mix of old and new, with a picturesque waterfront and fabulous Victorian architecture. It's a vibrant and progressive city with a community rich in tradition and respect for its heritage.

 

Come and visit this beautiful city when you are in Vancouver and find out for yourself how charming this city is. There are many things to see and to visit in New Westminster such as: New Westminster Museum and Archives, Irving House, the Samson V Paddle Wheeler, New Westminster Quay Public Market, the Antique Alley, Queen's Park, the 7-11 cycling Trail and much more.
