A calm summer evening

Near the summer solstice the sun appears to set into the sea.
Around Nanaimo - take the ferry to Gabriola Island

The ferry to Gabriola Island leaves from downtown Nanaimo.

Many of the islands off the east coast of Vancouver Island have the sandstone rocks sculptured by the sea.
North of Nanaimo - "Hornby Island"

This is Whaling Station Bay on Hornby. It's not a grand picture as the tide is out. Yes, there once was a whaling station here.

A forest walk

This is a cool day at Tribune Bay. Look at the August pictures for what this bay looks like when it is warm!

Ford Cove, and the interesting sea-sculptured sandstone rocks.
