That angle has been posted a few times, I think there were a couple from there last week. That's probably the best angle from the south...

Maybe West Van. Somewhere well up the slope of the mountain judging by the angle.

I'ts a bit deceiving. I think it's from North Van because I don't see the Lions Gate bridge, which touches down in North Van.

The colours of those skies are beautiful...............pinkish- red and dark blue. Amazing the contrast and who knows, after today's election maybe they will be orange tomorrow?
