Point Atkinson at Sunset
送交者: fallsong 2015年02月15日19:16:14 於 [攝友部落] 發送悄悄話


Point Atkinson Lighthouse located Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver, BC.


Lighthouse Park is a popular park in West Vancouver, Canada. It covers about 75 hectares (190 acres) and it is almost completely covered with rugged, virgin rainforest. At the southernmost tip of the peninsula is Point Atkinson Lighthouse with an impressive landmark lighthouse built in 1875. Point Atkinson was first charted and named by Captain George Vancouver in 1792 and is a National Historic Site of Canada.

The park contains the city's last remaining stand of first-growth Douglas fir, as well as some magnificent Western hemlock and Western Redcedar. Whereas most of the region has been logged, the trees in what is now the park were spared as they provided a necessary dark background for the lighthouse. The area was thus set aside in 1881 as the lighthouse reserve. Some ancient trees reach heights of up to 200 feet (61 m) and are around 500 years old.

There is a network of hiking trails in the park, some of which are fairly rough and can be slippery when wet. The park receives more than 50 inches (1,300 mm) of rain annually and has an abundance of various ferns, berries and mushrooms.
