English Bay Sunrise Oct 22 2012 01a, a photo by VancouverDoug on Flickr.

English Bay Vancouver caught in a moment of atmospheric clarity at sunrise on October 22 2012.

This view looks north west from downtown Vancouver with the hills of West Vancouver in the foreground and the peak of Bowen Island after that and then the range of peaks that make up the Tetrahedron Provincial Park in the far background. On the far right is Tetrahedron Peak itself. At 1,739m (5,705 feet) in height the peak presents both an impressive vista as well as a tempting and challenging climb to the more physically fit denizens of British Columbia's lower mainland.

The clarity of this shot still amazes me. We get these sorts of bubbles of atmospheric clarify every once and awhile.
