The Lion Gate of Vancouver

This is the prettiest bridge that leads to Vancouver. It looks cool from just about any angle, so it was fun driving around, skirting the coast, checking out all the vantage points.

You also take this bridge when heading north to Whistler, which is another cool area. I’ve never been there in the winter… I need to get up there and get my snowboardin’ on!

    My eyes can hardly absorb all the vivid colors from the bridge. Excellent problem to have though.

    The reflections on the water are just beautiful…the curvature of the bridge sort of makes it look flimsy from a distance!

    Look me up if you come up to Whistler sometime – skier not a boarder but know my way around. Bridge photo a tribute to the Canucks loss tonight? We’re sad but the bridge is really cool.

    Wonderful reflections of the colorful lights on the water, Trey, glad you found that “right spot”. Any picture you take with water in it is always beautiful. Another great job, thanks!!

    Great photo!

    One small point: it’s the Lions Gate Bridge, a reference to the two very similar mountain peaks it is the gate to (if you’re driving North from Vancouver). collectively they’re called The Lions.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts
