Harvest Moon Rising

A nearly full moon steps over the eastern horizon above Burrard Inlet while the sun behind us is still gilding the shore and the Lions Gate Bridge.

Aerial viewpoint over Stanley Park's north shore, west of Prospect Point (about 330 m up)

From high above Stanley Park's north shore the view runs east along Burrard Inlet, past the bridge and its two towers to the distant city. The bridge was a private venture, driven by the engineering contractor A. J. T. Taylor and financed mainly by the Guinness family, whose British Pacific Properties had bought some 4,000 acres of West Vancouver's slopes in 1931. The province bought it in the 1950s, and the tolls ended in 1963.
