00:06 COMM: This eerie footage shows downtown Vancouver
being engulfed in a thick fog, leaving its skyscrapers jutting out above the clouds.
00:16 The phenomenon was by British photographer
Alexis Birkill in a series of incredible stills and time lapse shots
00:26 Alex scaled a hill in nearby Cypress Provincial
Park to get the stunning skyline view as the mist rolled in.
00:34 The amazing spectacle is said to be caused
by temperature inversions, which trap smog close to the ground.
00:42 On occasions, the dense fog has been known
to last up to a week, reducing visibility in the Canadian city to just a few hundred
metres.
