This photo was edited to focus on the shapes and shading as the last 30 minutes of direct sunlight wane away over English Bay. Photo by: dpb photos (www.dpb-photos.com)
With freighters lying at anchor in English Bay, the sun peaks over the western horizon to end another perfect summer's day in Vancouver
On the distant horizon, this view reveals sailors grabbing the last hour of sailing before dark sets in.
Don't leave too early. The other photos in this gallery were taken from the vantage point of the pier in this photo. I decided to call it a day and was returning home. As I was walking away, I looked back and discovered this stunning scene. This shot was taken about 20 minutes after sunset. Just minutes latter, this scene lacked most of its colour. The clouds turned dark gray and the water turned black. The "Golden Hour" had yielded some beautiful scenes. I returned home anxious to see my work on a computer screen. I was not disappointed!
Sunset over Vancouver's West End
The golden glow of the sinking sun lights this scene with sunlight reflecting from the buildings onto the water in the foreground. This promises to be a good hour for taking photos.
A mixed team of six training on English Bay. I love the activity in this shot as Vancouverites grab the last few minutes of light on a beautiful summer's day.
Looking into the sun, this paddle boarder is silhouetted by the setting sun.
