I love reflection and this is one of my archive picture taken at Capilano Lake in 2011.
Wish you a great Friday and weekend!
The following is the original story posted.
One time my photo club friend talked to me about reflection.
Reflection is always the favorite of photographers. However not every one of reflection is photogenic.
Surprisingly he said the most beautiful and photogenic reflection is not those appear like a crystal clear mirror image. Some distortions and blurry blending with good colors are better ones, he said. What counted as the best is always subjective though.
Will this be a good reflection I found on the day I shot Capilano Lake?
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
This is the close up shot of the Capilano Lake reflection with Lions in background.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Fall colours along the road leading to Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: I am still sharing some photos from my favourite season, fall! Mid to late October is usually the time with most vibrant colours and that sure proved to be true when I went to Burnaby Mountain near the end of October. I just had to stop along the road that goes up to the park as the yellows were so pretty. It was a rainy day, but that didn't matter and the colours provided some brightness on this grey day.
I took this photo from the road leading up to Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, BC, Canada

Some information on Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Burnaby Mountain is one of the beautiful places to visit in Burnaby and is located near the Simon Fraser University. The views over the mountains, the Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and Indian arm from up here make it such a great place. This is a fairly popular destination popular visitors and locals alike. The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. There is a network of trails which offer a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options. There is also a playground tucked away in the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours in season and a great variety of roses. Nearby is the acclaimed Horizons restaurant and two majestic totem poles, a reminder of the community's proud native heritage. Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
Burnaby Mountain is a great place to enjoy in any season as there are always the beautiful views over the city, the mountains, the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm (a coastal fjord of about 18km/11.25mi long).
This amazing waterfall spans 90 m (295 ft) on the Murtle River with a height of 20 m (66 ft).
This view from along the pathway to the falls gives you an idea how large the falls are. These falls are one of 7 along the Murtle River within the park.

but believe that there is much more good in it than bad.
All you have to do is look hard enough and what might seem
to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.”

A pretty rare scene lately where the sunset was actually quite dramatic and colorful. So far Raincouver has been living up the expectation where we hardly see the sun.
I am not sure when will the next time I will see this again, hopefully soon :)

The full harvest moon visible from area near Vancouver, BC, Canada.
About this photo: We had a clear evening and I was ready for some photos of this evening's full moon. It is a full harvest moon which also happens to be the first super moon of 2025. I got lucky to have a pretty clear view from my place, I just had to step into my back alley to see the moon. The moon look beautiful and I only wished there would have been some more wind for that Canadian Flag to be flapping around, but his will have to do. 🌝❤️🌕

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.
Not so many years ago, I was the one walking out on the cliff edge while others called me back in. I was excited to push the boundaries of adventure. I loved feeling limitless. But something has changed. With more aches and pains, I’m no longer confident that I won’t lose my balance. I’ve seen the real consequences when things don’t go as planned. Am I smarter and wiser? Yes. Am I limiting my experiences too much? Probably. When my daughter walked out on the cliff edge above this fast flowing river, my Mom instinct kicked in and my anxiety soared. What’s with that? Time to check my risk aversion and push myself out of my comfort zone more often I think, but within limits. That’s where life’s fun and adventure lives.

A re-edit of this beautiful historical lighthouse. This evening we arrived just before sun down and caught these amazing colors reflecting in the sky and on the lighthouse.
Arriving at Cox Bay near high tide during a king tide along with a winter storm was so amazing.
The power of the ocean was so incredible to watch as it tossed heavy logs and stumps about like toothpicks.
There was no beach left to walk on either as the higher than normal tide was coming right up to the trail entrance.
Note the crazy people up on the cliff - very dangerous place to be in a storm with ultra high tides and winds.
The highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954 metres, Mount Robson stands 3 km above the valley floor. Sometimes it is cloud free and a full view of the summit is visible. On this day the summit was not visible but I liked the dramatic lighting with the sun peeking through to illuminate, brightly, the yellow leaves at the base and the glaciers close to the summit while clouds create a dark shadow on the mountain itself. Snow and ice reveal the patterns and lines of the mountain.
These falls are beautiful in every season, winter has much more water flow. The path the water takes changes at the bottom of the falls with each winter storm and tide. Always fun to see where it is each time we visit. Awesome sunny afternoon to enjoy them.
It has been awhile since I posted aphoto on Flickr. A lot of projects and work have been catching up me that I didn't really have much time to take photos or to manage my Flickr account.
Hopefully things will be better in the next few weeks. In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend and stay safe! :)

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.
We went for a lovely walk at Cascade Falls the other day. At the end of August, the water level was incredibly low compared to other images I've seen. The country roads on the drive out were also beautiful, so it made for a wonderful day.
I only had my light weight tripod with me, which only extends up so high. At first I thought about climbing over the railing to get the shot...but I'm not brave enough...or maybe I AM smart enough...to not do that. From the viewing platform I still got a fun shot I think.
