🌄 West Vancouver sunsets are a masterclass in natural drama — where the mountains, ocean, and sky converge to create breathtaking silhouettes and golden-hour magic.
🌅 Best Sunset Spots for Silhouettes
- Ambleside Beach & Pier: Watch silhouettes of paddleboarders, seabirds, and the Squamish Nation Welcome Figure as the sun dips behind the Lions Gate Bridge.
- Lighthouse Park: A local favorite for dramatic cliffside views and tree-lined silhouettes — especially stunning in winter months.
- Dundarave Beach: Offers a quieter vantage point with silhouettes of driftwood, sailboats, and distant city lights.
- Whytecliff Park: Ideal for moody sunset shots with rocky outcrops and silhouettes of hikers perched above the sea.
Whether you're snapping photos or simply soaking in the view, West Vancouver’s sunsets are a soulful experience.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

100 Strangers Project - Stranger 2/100 - Alisa
I was out by the Ottawa River, near home, shooting nature and landscape shots. I spent some time at Westboro Beach and while there Alisa arrived and launched her paddle board into the cool October waters of the Ottawa River. For awhile I thought she was challenging herself to paddle to Quebec on the other side. She turned when she was well out in the middle. I thought it would be an idea to ask for a portrait for the 100 Strangers Project when she returned, not realizing how long a workout she had planned for herself. When she finally arrived she stopped about 10 meters from shore and began practicing turns. I called out to ask if she would mind if I took a few shots of her paddling and she said okay. I knew this didn't constitute asking for a portrait and I would have to ask again. When she did arrive on the shore she quickly wrapped up to warm herself after the few tumbles in the river she had taken. I discovered that she had recently started in the sport, having been attracted to it last year. She was now in the process of trying to improve her skills and to try to mobilize the Ottawa community to show more interest in paddle boarding. With a colleague she had recently been involved in a demo session in cooperation with Lululemon Athletica Westboro.
Alisa agreed to the portrait after I told her about the 100 strangers project. I confessed my own nervousness at photographing people which in hindsight is not very professional - but she didn't seem to mind. I had to ask her to put her cold, wet life jacket on again and pick up her paddle.
This picture is #2 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.

While walking across the Verrazano Bridge to Assateague Island, I caught a paddle boarder with some shimmering water on Sinepuxent Bay with Rum Point lost in the shadows of the low sun.
