This is a wide panoramic view of Lion’s Gate bridge at night bracketing the city of Vancouver. It’s a nod to van Gogh’s “Starry Night” painting.

You don’t often get truly starry nights in Vancouver because there’s usually a misty cloud cover obscuring the stars. The city still sparkles and the lights on The Lion’s Gate bridge mirror the stars.

The essence of this scene is the anticipation of a night out. Sequins, sparklers, lit pathways, and dancing stars.
