The Lions in the Snow and the Sun

Even if you’re not from around here – and by that I mean Vancouver – you’ve probably heard of Lion’s Gate.

It’s a bridge that connects Vancouver with the North Shore. Lion’s Gate is also the name of a film production and distribution company that originated in Vancouver.

The Lions, to whom the ‘gate’ belongs, are two amazing huge bumps sticking out of our local mountains. Apparently, if seen from just the right angle,  they look just like a sleeping lion, though to me, they always looks like, well, two amazing huge bumps sticking out of our local mountains.

Here they are in full sun and fresh snow…
