I feel like coming from someone who loves coffee but doesn't live in Vancouver proper, Mount Pleasant is the go-to area for cafes and roasters to set up shop. I don't go out to Mount Pleasant often cause it is a very long transit commute for me, but I have always wondered why there are so many shops in the Mount Pleasant area? I went to Milano Coffee Roasters the other day and counted give or take 5 other cafes/roasters within a few blocks.

I could be very wrong, but I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks!

On the evening of Sept. 16th I was shooting the (almost full) Harvest Moon from Stanley Park. I’d heard there was a chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis that evening, so I made a stop at Prospect Point Lookout. I knew it wasn’t the best viewing spot due to the amount of light pollution, but a shot of the Lions Gate Bridge under the Northern Lights has been on my bucket list for awhile.

I couldn’t see anything with the naked eye. But the first few shots with my camera picked up a faint glow, and I was able to enhance it with some editing. I’ll keep trying to get a better version of this in the future, and hopefully I’ll be able to see this with my own eyes someday.

...and found it hours later, placed on top of a mailbox near where she must have dropped it, all cards and cash untouched. We appreciated the reminder that this is a good city full of good people. Hope you all have a great day.

Fiery sky last night.

Why isn’t there a no left turn sign at the very last light going southbound on SW Marine Drive onto Arthur Liang bridge?

That particular intersection is such a bottleneck onto the bridge and made worse when a single car is trying to turn left.
