The Capilano suspension bridge is a bridge crossing the Capilano river in north Vancouver, BC, Canada. It has 460ft long and suspended at 230 ft above the river. Throughout history since 1889, the year the bridge was built, it has had several owners. The last one bought the park in 1983. Today on the west side of the canyon we can enjoy walking the footbridges suspended between the trees 100ft above the forest floor. The photos are self-explanatory and the two birds, the owl was part of the forest and the hawk was there with the instructor. This last photo is a composition in PS because the original background was terrible.

Very nice. And an interesting place to visit. Any idea what kind of hawk is in the last photo? He reminds me of a hot rod with orange flames on the hood!

Awesome shots, but I would be avoiding that bouncy thing like the plague
You've got a couple of great bird shots there, too. The second is gorgeous

Looks like a fine view and a beautiful owl.
Wonderful tour, Jorge! I really enjoy the bird shots.
Mighty pricey! I’ll have to pass on it. Literally as I might come by this summer on the way back from Alaska if Canada lets us through in June.
I’m also allergic to crowds.
Nice images, though!

Nice shots Jorge. I used to like this place when I immigrated to Vancouver in the 60's - it was still very quiet. Unfortunately there are huge crowds that diminish the pleasure, was up there last about 4 years ago when we had visitors. But it is quite impressive, I particularly like the walking trails and foot bridges on the west side as you noted. - Looking forward to see more of your travels. Joe

Thanks for your kind comments. I can't tell you about the hawk, my bird culture is minus 10.

Thank you Joe for your kind comments. Yes it is bouncy, but it was just a place to visit, and for the price, it is the last time I go there.
