This Celtic cross is a memorial that is located within Stanley Park, a famous historic park in the city of Vancouver, Canada. At the base is some Gaelic, which I couldn't read. It is written in English on the right side of the base, however snow covered that side and the cross is surrounded by a wooden fence.
It's easy to miss this pretty stone cross because it's alongside a road, tucked in the forest. The setting is beautiful, and although this cross isn't as ornate as some of the Celtic crosses, it's simple central knot seems to fit in the quiet forested area. I am not sure of the age of the memorial, however it is likely at least 100 years old.
