Arches everywhere

Although this neighbourhood is full of square boxes and straight lines, there are a few arches to be found. This is St Paul's Anglican church. It actually has arches on all sides. 


We went to Stanley Park to see the unconventional Lumberman's Arch, not an arch at all, strictly speaking. 


This metal arch was on the beach last summer as well. 

Off in the distance is the arch of the Ironworkers' Memorial Bridge, commonly called the Second Narrows. Beyond it is Mount Baker, always a treat to see. 


In the other direction is the First Narrows, or Lions' Gate Bridge. Fog is coming in. 


It is quite a climb up from the sea wall to Prospect Point, and in the time it took us to get up there, the fog got a lot thicker and part of the bridge was quite hidden from us. 


Our last arch picture (perhaps; there's time to find more before the end of the month) is the upside-down arches of 815 Chilco Street. There is only one apartment per floor; the views over the park and water must be stunning from the upper floors. And you get very mod, circular, upside-down arched balconies. Out of our price range, unfortunately. 
 

One day soon I will show you some knitting!
