Lighthouse Park – Vancouver

Recently, on a trip for work to Vancouver, I took a trip down to Lighthouse Park. I had read about it in a book and wanted to go check it out. Its a 1/2 mile walk down the trail to the lighthouse, with very steep grade. There is a viewing area visitors are directed to that is from some rocks looking down at the light house. THe view is mediocre. While the lighthouse is very nice and very well kept the view from the observation point doesnt make for a great composition. While leaving I wondered down a bit further and found the lighthouse keepers house which provided a better and closer view of the lighthouse. I took this shot from their driveway. A complete view the lighthouse was doable, but because of the location the composition would include the keepers house and cars. as a result, I cropped this image at 3/4 height and got the thin line of clouds in the background. While I wasnt real happy with the limited access to the lighthouse, I do think this shot made for a good composition and final image.
