Gulf Island Sunset Jan 27 2010_DSC9616

Winter sunsets in Vancouver, while short lived, have this rich orange color missing from summer sunsets and, thanks to ever-present rain clouds, a good chance of including 'God-Light' - those spiritually motivating beams of light cascading from the heavens.

Here's a shot looking due west from downtown Vancouver taken later afternoon January 28 2010. In the foreground is the University of BC and a large jet on its final approach into Vancouver's international airport. In the background is Galliano Island. One of the many long-but-thin rocky islands sprinkled along the Strait of Georgia that separates the BC mainland from Vancouver Island.
