Night Skies Around Vancouver

These night sky photos were taken hurriedly as "drive bys" or "walking bys" in various degrees of night sky.

The first 3 photos were taken on the Lion's Gate Bridge connecting Stanley Park in Vancouver with North Vancouver and West Vancouver.






This next photo was taken from the Salmon House on the Hill restaurant in West Vancouver where a few of us gathered to celebrate my nephew's graduation from university.


A photo of the graduate and his girlfriend who also graduated but on an earlier day in the week.
Both of them will commence their master's level studies in their respective fields come September and are now on much deserved holiday.


Church in the 'hood. Photo taken with cell phone in late evening.


Joining with Skywatch Friday. Have a look at the beautiful skies from around the world.

Thank you for visiting my sky post.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I especially loved the water over the bridge photo. Reminds me of 'my' bridge...Coronado in San Diego. I missed it;-)
And congrats to the graduates.

I really like the first photo of the bridge--the bridge sort of reminds me of the St. John's Bridge I lived near in Portland. Congrats to your nephew and his girlfriend on their graduations!

Hi Joyful, Neat photos going across the Lion's Gate Bridge. That is such a beautiful bridge. Don't tell anyone I said this, but I really think Vancouver may be more beautiful than Seattle. :-) Nice pic of the graduates as well. Please tell us which church has the lighted cross at top ... I love it! Thanks for sharing!

Believe the skies over Vancouver is more beautiful in the mid summer nights. Enjoy your days and nights.

Hi Joyful! I just got back from your part of the world, I was in Seattle. The flowers and bushes were in full bloom, and I can see that's true where you are too from the photo at the graduation party. What a lovely venue. Congratulations to your nephew and his friend!
Love the peaceful picture of the church at night. That top cross sends out it's light to all!
Blessings,
Ceil
