This a collection of photos that showcases the changing views  of the North Shore Mountains from Vancouver’s West End. I took the photos over the course of a year from my old apartment on the corner of Robson and Cardero.

The morning fog hanging over the Stanley Park and Coal Harbour as the mountains reappear after a week of dense fog that completely enveloped the city.

The perfect shade of blue sky on a clear, crisp summer day.

Different shades of clouds as the mysterious haze gradually colours over the blue sky.

A bright morning reveals a fresh dusting of snow on the North Shore Mountains.

After a fresh dump snow at sea level, the city of Vancouver grinds to a halt.

An inversion of clouds hangs below the North Shore Mountains and above the city of North Vancouver.

After a big storm, clouds blanket the North Shore Mountains.

My favourite thing about the few summer sunrises that I manage to catch is how the ridgelines of the mountains light up against the fiery morning sky.

The November gloom sets in as the rainy season begins for another year. The city remains socked in by grey clouds for most of the next 4 months. When the clouds occasionally break and the rains stop, the mountaintops are dusted in fresh snow.

One of my favourite things about Vancouver is how the clouds break up at in the late morning or afternoon after a storm. Then they bunch up on the North Shore Mountains, often creating explosive looking cloud pillars thousands of feet high.

In the winter dense fog can completely cover the city, dramatically reducing visibility.
