Watching the Sun Setting over The Vancouver City Horizon

Sun Setting At Kushiro Park

I was at Kushiro Park on top of Burnaby Mountain watching the sun slowly setting over the Vancouver city horizon. It was an amazing scene to follow the sun as it was setting over the horizon. That was my first experience watching the evening sun set from a top Burnaby Mountain. I was there with my kids playing with the new camera set I have just purchased. We were shooting different shots using combination of different features on the camera and the new lens. At the same time, as we were learning about the capabilities of the camera, we took the opportunity to shoot some of the great moments before the sun set.

The Transformation

And to my amazement, there were quite a lot of people taking pictures of the sun setting. It was one of those days when the sky was cloudless. We could clearly see Vancouver city. We saw the skyline changing colors, it got reddish from a pure bright yellowish color as the sun started to set behind the mountains on the horizon. It took less than five seconds from seeing the brim of the sun on the edges on the mountain tops to totally losing sight of it. Once the sun was totally blocked by the mountains, the skyline turned reddish and quickly night sky sets in. The transformation was just wonderful to watch.
