"When people think of my city, they think of . . . the Golden Ears Mountains and Horses.
These mountains tower over Maple Ridge and are the best known landmark of my city. I have posted dozens of photos of these mountains. CLICKING ON ANY OF THE HIGHLIGHTED WORDS WILL DIERECT YOU TO LINKS OF THE MOUNTAINS IN PREVIOUS POSTS. Under a blanket of snow they are most glorious, especially on a sunny clear day. But they are equally eye-catching peeking out from under the fog and clouds. Or lit up by the setting sun, which makes them appear golden or often times even pink. I have posted them in summer, with the rugged peaks devoid of snow and the rock face showing. By now, I am certain that when I post a shot of these hills, regular CDP participants will see them in the portal an think "Oh yeah, these are the mountains in Maple Ridge again. They may be a repetetive topic on my site, but they always make for a beautiful photograph, whatever weather or season. I also included horses in this theme as Maple Ridge's nickname is HORSE CAPITAL OF CANADA. I myself don't ride, but many residents here do. We had fresh snow a couple of days ago and it really makes for wonderful photo opportunities.

Noce!. (but looks very cold). Maybe revisit in summer season.
A perfect landscape, made even better with the horse. How curious and interested she looks.
