While there are many beautiful sites to see the colours of autumn unfold in the Greater 麻豆传媒映画area, Lee says this is one location you shouldn't miss.
One year he was exploring and came across the rows of trees on Prenter Street, between Hawthorne and Magnolia, in Burnaby South, and was instantly impressed by the vibrant colours.
Now, he returns each year to film the beautiful display.
鈥淭his particular spot is my favourite and I鈥檒l go and shoot it every year and see what I can capture,鈥� Lee told the Courier.
鈥淚 send the videos to my relatives overseas so they can see, because they can鈥檛 always come here but they always hear about how beautiful maple leaves are in Canada.
鈥淚n 麻豆传媒映画they鈥檙e so distinctive. They鈥檙e so beautiful.鈥�
Lee, an amateur photographer and videographer, filmed the video in September 2018.
鈥淭he maple leaves turn depending on the tree - The yellow, orange and pink leaves are the ones I really like, and those are the ones that usually turn earlier,鈥� Lee says.
鈥淚 like the yellow ones more than the red ones, myself, because I find them more vibrant. Without the sun the red foliage just looks dark, they鈥檙e hard to capture.鈥�
To get a different perspective of the leaves, Lee put his phone on a tripod and put it through his car鈥檚 sunroof to film.
