The past two weeks have had Vancouver, BC sitting in a temperature inversion. Down in the city, the temperatures have been 6C in the morning while up higher in the mountains it was 13C. Combined with moist air from the Pacific, that means low lying fog and some great photo ops!

My wife and I went up on Saturday and found that the fog ceiling was a bit too high:

Not to be deterred by that, it was time to get a bit creative. Mount Baker silhouetted against the sunrise:

The sunrise, itself made for a nice opportunity too:

On Wednesday, I dragged myself out of bed solo and headed up... got to the cypress viewpoint by 06:15...urgh, that's early. What a reward though!!!

The pre-dawn city in the Fog:

Great shots! I used to live in Vancouver, and certainly miss the surroundings. Thanks for sharing.

These are great! Awesome work.

That's one of the things I hate about here...nothing ever changes, not the weather, not the seasons, not the leaves..nothing. 99% of the time it's 100+ degrees and sunny and 100% of the time it's ugly. ;-)a

FYI: "Fitness Freak" is also known as "Amber" outside of POTN.

Thanks - I'm partial to it too - the towering bridge peaking out of the pool of lit fog.
