Ambleside waterfront, West Vancouver

This is Ambleside, on the West Vancouver shore, looking south-east across the water to the Lions Gate Bridge and the dark forest of Stanley Park. Before the bridge opened, Ambleside was one of the ways across the inlet: a ferry ran from here to Gastown from 1909 until 1947, when the bridge and the buses that used it made the boat unnecessary. Today the same stretch of shore is a park, a beach and a seawall, and in early April the cherry trees along Vancouver's streets and parks come into flower.
