roaming again

last night I went to visit the christmas lights show at the botanical gardens, but a lineup of several hundred people at the entrance dissuaded me from that option...after that a bit of roaming around offered some other scenes...this unusual view is from the west side suburbs, with downtown Vancouver in the distance, the twin peaks of the illuminated Lions Gate Bridge to the left of centre, and in the upper right are lights from the ski slopes on Grouse Mountain

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm - 5s f/4.8 at 56.0mm iso100 full exif

I think I'd have joined you on your stroll, Dave ~ I hate queues with a passion!
Nice work here.

very lovely, especially the window frame at bottom left beside the tree. Sweet nuances as this make it all work...V

A really special night scene from foreground to far distant lights on the mountain top.

The " thief of lights " roams again, and it is for our visual pleasure... Superb in all ways here too, David. BV.

Fabulous work. I really enjoy those pinpricks of light seemingly floating in the sky, and the rather mysterious mood created in the foreground. V

Bit and pieces of wintry nights and colored lights bring to mind Sara Teasdale:

Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;

I wondered if I was looking up at Grouse Mountain! I really appreciate this image David because it gives me a good pov of Vancouver's points of interest from your neck 'o the woods! :)
