Vancouver / BC / Canada - Part 4a - Spring Time - Queen Elizabeth Park
Apr 17, 2019 16:01:00 #
The darling of all parks in Vancouver, this 130-acres horticultural jewel is a major draw for floral display enthusiasts, and as a popular backdrop for wedding photos. At 152 meters above sea level, it is the highest point in Vancouver and makes for spectacular views of the park, city and the North Shore mountains.
The main focus point is its gorgeously landscaped sunken quarry garden. Massive flower displays change with the seasons, so there is always something new to see.
The pictures shine more in download.

Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you Barbara - it is a rather small but really beautiful park - and it has a nice restaurant in it as well, aptly called "Seasons in the Park", with great food and view!
