    Exploring Gabriola Island

    Just a short 20 minute ferry ride from Nanaimo, is the wonderful Gabriola Island, but I’d never really explored it before. I recently spent the day exploring it with my camera and had a great time.

    The rock formations there are simply amazing. The many patterns left on the rocks create such such unique foregrounds for photos that I didn’t want to put my camera down, but it’s nice just to spend some time wandering about, enjoying it all.

    In places the shoreline has been sculpted by the ocean to create what looks like a covered walkway, or a stone covered pathway along the water.

    Thanks for stopping by to check out this post. More of my photos can be seen on Vero, where I can now be found.

    A Hike Around Botanical Beach

    I arranged for a small group from my local photo club to go on a day trip to Botanical Beach.  The beach is best seen at low tide, when the many unique features can be more easily observed, and the water doesn’t keep you off the beach.  This took a bit of coordination to get the timings right and as the day approached, it looked like we might be more in danger of getting wet from the rain than the ocean.
