Schnee in den Bergen... schööööööön. Schnee in der #Großstadt.... nur in den #Parks und Wäldern schön. Alles andere wird schnell zu dreckigem #Matsch gemacht. 😱

Good Morning #Canada
Stanley Park is a 405-hectare public park in British Columbia, Canada, that makes up the northwestern half of Vancouver's Downtown peninsula, surrounded by waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay. It opened in September of 1888 after negotiating a lease from the federal government who owned the land for $1 per year. On this day in 1889, it was renamed and dedicated in honour of Lord Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, a British politician who had recently been appointed Governor General of Canada. It doesn't crack the top 10 of city parks in Canada (despite what the attached article states) but it's special because much of the park remains as densely forested as it was in the late 1800s, with about a half million trees, some of which stand as tall as 76 metres and are hundreds of years old.
