Brockton Point Lighthouse

I captured this photo at the iconic Brockton Point Lighthouse, situated in Stanley Park, Vancouver. The lighthouse, with its distinctive white and red design, stands proudly against the backdrop of Vancouver's cityscape. As I stood there, the dynamic clouds added a sense of drama to the scene, casting a gentle shadow over the bustling city visible in the distance. The lighting at this moment provided a perfect balance, highlighting the lighthouse's structure while subtly illuminating the surrounding ocean. In the foreground, a ferry navigates the water, adding movement to the composition. The wide-angle perspective allowed me to include a sweeping view of the scene, demonstrating the interaction between nature and urban life. The seawall, visible in the foreground, is part of the world-famous pathway that encircles Stanley Park, attracting countless visitors. This particular lighthouse was built in 1914 and has been guiding vessels safely for over a century. I felt a sense of tranquility and admiration as I captured this moment, reflecting on the blend of history and modernity. The composition's balance and the atmospheric conditions of the day led to a harmonious image, where the historical landmark stands as a testament to the passage of time.
