Blimey Brian, they're amazing! Did you take them? Particularly like the ones with the springer in.

Lovely to see Vancouver in the snow, I know it doesn't normally get much but I hope that next winter is as snowy, I love it! We've still got a foot outside here (another big dump down last night, and 8cm more due tonight) so that combined with the -10 temps means we're getting used to Canadian weather already!!

Are you a professional photographer? They are wonderful!

All you've done is confirm the suspicion that there is a lot of low lying cloud in Vancouver

Lovely slideshow - thank you very much. I'm guessing you live high up on that hill overlooking the city?

I humbly apologise. I should have stated they were NOT taken by me. I sure wish they had been. Someone sent them to me as an email attachment and as they're in public domain, I think, I thought I would pass them on.

Wonderful photos, and the dog is beautiful. I had a springer for so many years, they are wonderful animals.

Thanks for posting, this place sure is pretty

Interesting trying to work out where some of these are, or are shot from: SFU or Queen Elizabeth park likely candidates for some of the city-in-cloud images. And some early mornings, too!

The ones showing the towers of downtown and Burnaby peeping out of the fog must be taken from the lookout point on the road up to Cypress Bowl. The ones looking out to Bowen Island and Howe Sound must be from near there as well. There is a shot of downtown from Jericho beach. There are quite a few of the seafront and marina in West Van, and the fishing boats are in Steveston.

Nice photos. (But we've seen enough snow for this year. Thank you very much.)

I didn't realise the photographic possibilities of that fog until it was much too late. Some of those photos are fantastic, I'm gutted that I didn't make it up to the Cypress Bowl lookout now.

Some photos I took from a walk up by Prospect Point during "the fog":
