Moon rise in Vancouver, BC, Canada

The beautiful almost Harverst Moon peeking above the clouds from my neighbourhood in New Westminster near Vancouver, BC, Canada.

 

It's been awhile again since I have been keeping busy and haven't had too much inspiration for photos, but I never miss a chance to capture the beautiful moon if it arises.

 

 

About this photo: I knew that the moon was going to rise around 7pm local time, so while we were out walking our dogs I figured I would drag my camera around. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the almost full Harvest Moon rising near Mount Baker. I wasn't just if it was going to happen as there were some clouds behind Mount Baker.

 

To my delight I noticed the moon rising from behind the clouds and was so happy that Mount Baker was still lit up by the last rays of the sun as well. I waited until the moon was just above the clouds to capture this photo. I was very happy I dragged my camera along for a few photos of this.

 

I hope you like 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.
