1/52 Lions Gate Bridge (SOOC)

My town is Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. One of the most recognizable landmarks is the Lions Gate Bridge. The bridge was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2005. It was built in 1937 and opened to traffic on Nov. 14, 1938. My dad took a series of photos of it being built!

To get this shot, I drove half-way up to a ski area, where I knew there was a good view point. The drive was a bit weird -- a winding road through dense forest, and an odd feeling of being the only person on the mountain. While setting up the tripod, I left my car door open so I could leap back in if a bear appeared. LOL!

It probably looks like a night shot, but I took it at 7:30 this morning. You can see the pink of the sunrise through a break in the clouds. Nothing like yesterday's spectacular sunrise (in my stream if you're interested), that's for sure! The thing is though, dense cloud cover is another highly recognizable aspect of Vancouver. It rains a LOT here!
