sisters

further west along the North Vancouver shores, this pair of peaks are known to native peoples as the Twin Sisters, but were subsequently named The Lions by the descendants of European colonists...apparently they are made of basalt, and suspected to be the remains of an ancient volcano...along the edge of the harbour are boat houses clearly owned by wealthy Vancouverites, their prize crafts hidden away from both prying eyes, and coastal storms

This is a familiar scene! Makes me very nostalgic and, I almost said, homesick, though I've not lived there for so long. Beautiful clear light on this fabulous and nicely composed scene. V

I prefer Twin Sisters myself. Another case of the natives knowing better. A beautiful view of these well named peaks.

I never new that I wanted a boat house before :0) Gotta keep-up with everyone else.
I like the Twin Sisters, the name makes more sense to me.

"twin sisters" seem to be the most appropriate name for these two beautiful mountain peaks! V
