大部分觀光客旅遊時很喜歡參觀古蹟，不過我在旅遊時其實對古蹟沒有特別偏好，只要是景點交通方便加上美麗景色，我有時間的話都會盡量前往，所以我在加拿大旅行時，一天不自覺能走上好幾公里，在溫哥華時剛好前往了有名的斯坦利公園，走著走著就邂逅了獅門大橋 (Lions Gate Bridge)。
獅門大橋是連接溫哥華市中心及北岸市鎮的懸索吊橋，它不但是著名地標，並於2005年3月24日被列為加拿大法定國家古蹟，該橋全長為1517.3公尺，也曾作為絕命終結站5的電影場景之一，其實第一次看到它的外形覺得和美國舊金山的金門大橋有些相似，後來才知道原來這兩座橋均出於同一個設計師之手。
據說如果在該橋上開車的話，視野更佳可以欣賞到更為壯闊的風景，也可以順便拍到橋上的獅子雕像，但我個人覺得在橋下欣賞該大橋也另有一番景致。不過我在發現這座橋時完全不知道它是有名的古蹟，只是覺得這座大橋搭配海景非常美麗，所以忍不住一整個狂拍照。
當時我騎著自行車，身上的輕便雨衣完全擋不住滂沱大雨，基本上全身濕透，加上我的手機完全沒有防水功能，但是我還是因為獅門大橋的壯觀而佇足觀賞，試圖用手機留下眼前難得的美景。
本來以為下雨天拍出的照片大概很醜，當時看了照片也因為霧氣覺得不太好看，現在回頭認真看一下照片，發現居然也有一些美麗，可能正值大雨落在海面上，一大群的鴨子群聚在水中，搭配上壯觀的獅門大橋，居然也構成難得的美景。
Most tourists love visiting historical sites while traveling, but I don’t have a particular preference for them. As long as a place is easy to get to and offers beautiful scenery, I’ll try to visit if I have the time. That’s why, when I was traveling in Canada, I often found myself walking several kilometers a day without realizing it. While in Vancouver, I visited the famous Stanley Park, and as I wandered around, I unexpectedly came across the Lions Gate Bridge.
The Lions Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting downtown Vancouver to the North Shore municipalities. It’s not only a well-known landmark but was also designated a National Historic Site of Canada on March 24, 2005. The bridge spans 1,517.3 meters (4,978 feet) and even appeared as a filming location in Final Destination 5. When I first saw it, I thought its appearance resembled the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Later, I found out that both bridges were actually designed by the same architect.
They say that if you drive across the bridge, you get an even better view of the stunning landscape, and you can also catch a glimpse of the lion statues on the bridge. However, I personally think that admiring the bridge from below offers a unique perspective as well.
At the time, I had no idea that this bridge was a famous historic site—I was simply drawn to how breathtakingly beautiful it looked against the ocean, so I couldn't stop taking photos.
I was riding my bike in pouring rain, my lightweight raincoat completely failing to keep me dry. I was soaked from head to toe, and my phone wasn’t waterproof at all. But despite that, I couldn’t help but stop to take in the incredible sight of the Lions Gate Bridge, trying my best to capture the rare moment with my phone.
At first, I assumed that photos taken on such a rainy day would turn out terrible. When I checked them at the time, they seemed unimpressive due to the mist. But looking back at them now, I realize that some of them are actually quite beautiful. Perhaps the rain was falling too heavily on the water, so that a large group of ducks to gather peacefully in the sea. Paired with the grandeur of the Lions Gate Bridge, it unexpectedly created a rare and stunning scene.
