After my visit to Queen Elizabeth Park, I headed for Manitoba street (corner of 39th) to see two rows of Akebono cherry trees that extend up to 43rd street.
The trees are small, but if you get the right angle, you can still get good photos.
Since the trees are small, you can get really good close-ups:
When I reached 41st Ave., I turned to face north and was thrilled to see the peak of the North Shore Mountains at the end of the street between rows of cherry blossoms. (There are electric wires in the way, but it’s still a nice photo op).
Use the VCBF neighbourhood map to find this location and other Akebono cherry trees in your area.
