North Shore Sunsets (And Sunrises!).

"The sunrise the next morning was an equally spectacular sight. The sun welcomed a new day in the mountains raising up in a pure yellow illuminating endless layers of mountains into the distance." Hiker on a summit overlooking Howe Sound and its islands at golden hour Utterly breathtaking. That’s how I would best describe this overnight adventure just north of Vancouver near Lions Bay to capture the double feature of “North Shore Sunset” and “North Shore Sunrise”. Sometimes the weather is on the fence and you don’t know until you go then things work out even better than you could’ve imagined. Backpacker standing on a sunlit rocky ridge in the North Shore mountains Sometimes life is like that. If you wait to see if the weather will turn around, you’ll end up missing out on something amazing. On this fantastic evening, luck was certainly in my favour. Silhouetted hiker above Howe Sound under a fiery orange sunset That evening, the sunset was painted in a dazzling array of colours - from pink and blue to purple and orange. As the sun kept going down, the palate kept changing and displaying more variants in the clouds. Without those clouds, I wouldn’t have had the skies as vibrant as they were. Sun rising over layered mountain ridges north of Vancouver The sunrise the next morning was an equally spectacular sight. The sun welcomed a new day in the mountains raising up in a pure yellow illuminating endless layers of mountains into the distance.
