The Land That Ugly Forgot The Bewildering, Beautiful and Blithe Happenings Around Vancouver, BC

Lions Gate Bridge Human Experiment

This is the Lions Gate Bridge, connecting Vancouver City to the North Shore. It was early one damp Sunday morning, but the rain didn't keep the police away. Notice the patrol cars positioned on either side of the bridge entrance. Then notice how drivers apply their brake lights the moment they realize there's cops parked there. I think it's a natural human reaction to step on the brake when you see a police car, just like having to close your eyes when you sneeze, or getting frustrated by not being able to lick the tip of your own elbow. Some things just aren't humanly possible.
