It spans 1,517 m and links Vancouver to both the north and west sides of the city and accommodates over 70,000 commuters daily.
Offically known as the First narrows bridge, the term “Lions’ Gate” reflects the lions which are a pair of mountain peaks in the north of the city.

    Wow, this is brilliant! When did you take this? This has so much going for it.. a strong composition with briiliant lines, great architceture (I love bridges), the mountains in the background, the fog… it has it all! I really love the light in this – the darkness under the fog is so moody and then above, it is just perfect.. love the way the shadow of the bridge is visible in the fog. The strong light hitting the bridge and then reflecting in the water is fantastic… the real highlight of the picture for me, if you’ll excuse the pun! ;-)
    An instant favourite!
