Prospect Point lookout, Stanley Park

Gold maple leaves frame the view from the Prospect Point lookout in late October, when the bigleaf maples of Stanley Park turn against the dark conifers. Beyond them the Lions Gate Bridge crosses the First Narrows, its main span 472 metres long between towers that rise more than a hundred metres above the water. In 1938 the steel was painted olive-viridian green, the cables and hanger ropes aviation orange, as the aviation rules of the day required, and the underside of the deck dark brown.
