Equinox Sunset

On the day when light and dark are nearly even, the sun slips away due west and leaves the whole sky glowing above the Lions Gate Bridge at First Narrows.

On the water off Brockton Point, Stanley Park, looking west towards the First Narrows

From the water off Brockton Point, at the eastern tip of Stanley Park, the harbour opens to the west and the Lions Gate Bridge stands across the far end of it, with the North Shore mountains rising to the right. Ships bound for the inner harbour come this way, passing under the bridge through a single channel about 222 metres wide. The bridge has a design clearance of 61 metres at high water; the port works out a lower limit for each ship, about 55 to 57 metres at higher high water. The tide here can range by about five metres, which is why the largest ships watch the water level as closely as the sky.
