Cape Town Image: 2017 – Vancouver – Canoe Bridge

Likely one of the most photographed features of Vancouver’s East False Creek seawall pathway.

This pathway section and bridge, completed during preparation for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, was the missing link in the route that circles Stanley park and False Creek then follows English Bay west to Spanish banks below the University of British Columbia lands.

The seawall has been under construction since 1917. Adding all the pieces together its approximately a 50 Km waterside jewel. The pathway is separated for pedestrian and wheeled users.

THE CANOIE BRIDGE:
A signature installation along the waterfront of East False Creek is a 40 metre pedestrian bridge.

The Canoe Bridge is designed to evoke the ribs of canoes and kayaks, celebrating the non-motorized boating area to its north.

Its walkway is steel grating, allowing views to the water below, and creating fewer shadows on the water to maximize habitat value.

The bridge’s design evokes the heavy industry of the site’s past and also forms a visual link to the geodesic dome of Science World.

The bridge was built by Megatech and installed in 2008.

Cape Town Image: Perfection – Lake Capilano, Vancouver BC

View On Black

In the far distance you can see the two "Lions", which are 5,400 ft mountain peaks near Vancouver. When you see them from a distance, they resemble two lions lying side by side. The two mountains are part of te Howe Sound Group of Mountains (North Shore Mountains). The city’s BC Lions CFL football team is also named in their honour. This mountain also has an alternative name, called "Bert Mountain", as the two pointed peaks resemble the ears of the famous cat "Bert".

You can climb them if you wish, but an easier place to see them is from the Cleveland Dam recreation area. That’s where this photo was taken.

Here is my shot list of the top 5 places (in my opinion) for photographers:

1) Stanley Park (day or night). Be sure to shoot the skyline, the totems, visit the zoo, and enjoy the gardens.
2) Drive up to Cleveland Dam. There is a beautiful park there complete with hiking trails, views of the two "Lions", and an awesome reservoir.
3) Drive up to Cypress and stop off at the scenic overlook. Bring your longest lens – on a clear day you will be rewarded with some spectacular views of the city.
4) Shoot the Lion’s Gate Bridge and the Vancouver skyline from West Vancouver.
5) Head on over to the Chinese Gardens and Chinatown. Vancouver has long been home to many immigrants. This is one reason why you can find so much diversity in architecture, parks, churches, and the people.

If you are efficient, you can shoot all of these in two days. I did not have a chance to shoot inside the city as much (there are many great parks, churches, and the famous Gastown area). I’m sure those are awesome as well – I will get them next time.
