Vancouver City Winter Twilight

I took this photo While snowboarding on Grouse Mountain in 2008. It was an overcast and very snowy late afternoon, the conditions (for snowboarding) were really good, then the clouds opened up at twilight to reveal Vancouver city in all its glory. It was not yet dark, this is why the clouds are glowing blue from the top and they have the warm city glow from underneath. The trees were full of snow and lit up by the ski resort. It was a lucky moment, right place right time! I have been to Grouse Mountain many times since and I have some great shots from up there but not with the same impact.
