A group of maple trees caught my eye in the late afternoon sun. The patterns, tones, and edges create a warm attractive glow that seem far too beautiful to be real.

Fierce winds blow across Mt. Baker creating a brilliant halo at sunrise. The foothills, still in shadow, emerge as dark blue hues. Across the middle of the mountain sun rays create a line of separation between light and shadow. Photo is taken from my balcony.
Dawn in the eastern sky is a wonderful sight from McKee Peek in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Landmark mountains such as Mt. Cheam, Lady Peak and Mt. Baker shape the horizon as a smoky haze fills the Fraser Valley below. An atmospheric river flooded this region one year ago. The flood halted all commerce and traffic in and out of the southern coastal region of British Columbia, including the city of Vancouver. The valley is still recovering.

Just could not get enough of these shots of the red setting sun as it travelled across the sky between the clouds. While it is beautiful to see, it tells you something about how much pollution is in the air all around.
Two days after an atmospheric river dumped rain and flooded Matsqui Prairie in Abbotsford, BC., Canada, tree trunks appear to push out of the flood, and leaves caught in branches create designs and colours. This serene beauty makes both residents and visitors take a sober second look and pause to reflect on what took place. Nature has spoken.

About this photo: Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians out there or anyone who feels connected to Canada! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
It's a day to celebrate all the things we are thankful for. I cherish my family so much as well as the time we get to spend together and that we are all in good health. I am also thankful to be living in a beautiful city where nature is always so close by to be enjoyed! ❤️❤️❤️
This is a photo I took a few years ago with a view of the Lions Gate Bridge when it was surrounded by fall colours! I took this photo from the Stanley Park overpass with a view of the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
This is a long exposure photo which makes it look like there is no traffic on the bridge, but if you look close enough you can see the light trails of the cars.
And here is a little history on the Lions Gate Bridge:
Here is a little history:
1937: Construction began on March 31, after years of speculation and planning. The bridge was an impetus to real estate development on the North Shore, uniting both sides of the inlet. The First Narrows Bridge Company employed numerous workers in an otherwise bleak depression period. It was funded by private foreign investment through the efforts of A.J.T. Taylor.
1938: The bridge opened to pedestrian traffic on November 12, 1938, and to cars two days later, on November 14.
1939: On May 29 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth crossed the bridge during the first Royal Visit to Canada.
1952: A third lane was added to allow for passing.
1955: The British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority acquired the bridge for $5,595,060.
1963: Tolls were removed on April 1.
1965: Lane controls were installed.
1970’s: Several renovations were completed to significantly improve bridge safety and upgrade the structure.
1986: On February 19, a string of white lights was added to the bridge which was a gift of the Guinness family to Vancouver.
2002: The bridge underwent a major upgrade that included roadway expansion, deck replacement, and the construction of more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly sidewalks. This type of replacement was the first in the world.
2004: The bridge was declared a national Historic Site of Canada.

Some information about Vancouver: Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Deadpool 1 & 2", "The X-Files", "The Good Doctor", "Colony", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supernatural", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big gondola that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.
Even though the owls were too far away, the sunset at the end of the day was not to be missed. Brunswick Point, Ladner
Some more fall colours spotted along the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: A photo from last month when I went to beautiful Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC, Canada to find some fall colours. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I got lucky with some beautiful fall foliage.
This area with this tree at Brockton Point in Stanley Park is one of my favourite spots for fall photos. You can see the Lions Gate Bridge in the distance and I got lucky with 2 bikers appearing in my scene.

South Cariboo Region of British Columbia on the 1st day of Summer '24
Bridge Lake, BC
Canada
The small community of Bridge Lake, located in the Interlakes district of the Southern Cariboo, was originally situated on the historic Fur Brigade Trail. The Fur Brigade Trail dates back to the early pioneer days of fur trading and was a combination of waterways and overland trails, used to connect trading posts. After the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road during the 1860s the Fur Brigade Trail became redundant.
The beautiful Interlakes area is aptly named the “Fishing Highway”, as anglers can access over 300 lakes, making this one of the best fishing spots in British Columbia.

A magical place.
[Though this Fairy Tree looks small, the kayakers who passed by sat only as tall as the base that the tree is growing from.]
We were driving home on the Sea to Sky Highway and stopped at Porteau Cove. There is this long pier, but just where I was standing on it to take this shot, there is a sign that says "Do not Enter", but obviously this couple climbed over the railing and went to the end to get the best view. But for me, they added to the image I wanted to get.

The Clearwater River is the largest tributary of the North Thompson River, joining it at the community of Clearwater, British Columbia. The Clearwater rises from glaciers in the Cariboo Mountains and flows in a mostly southerly direction for 201 km (125 mi) to the North Thompson. Its entire course, except the last 5 km (3 mi), is within Wells Gray Provincial Park. Its confluence with the North Thompson is protected by North Thompson River Provincial Park.
For BREATHTAKING rugged landscape shots, I invite you to check out two of my most favorite photographers here on FLICKR.

Okay, maybe they're not as big as the Cliffs Of Insanity, but they're just as exciting to visit!
