In Focus: Photos of some of Vancouver’s fountains at night

Statement and Photos by the Fountainman

Many, if not most, of Vancouver’s fountains have their own lighting which can really change their appearance after the sun goes down, sometimes quite dramatically. Even those which do not have their own purpose built lights can catch moonlight or streetlights to show off interesting features unseen during the day. Some of these may be quite obvious to passersby. However, many fountains manage to stay in the background and it is only when you move out of the brighter streetlight, step in closer to the fountain, and let your eyes adjust to the subdued lighting, do you see the fountain. Even in the day, the fountains stay in the background. So, next time you see a fountain, stop and really look at it!
