The sailing of the route that spans the vast Strait of Georgia docks in Port of Nanaimo in the North End of the Gulf Islands. This location is a short hop to two mountain passes that connect Port Alberni to Tofino and Ucluelet. The fishing grounds of Tofino and Ucluelet are teaming with wild Coho, Halibut and trophy sized Ling Cod. Campbell River is where you can land King Salmon and surf the same day. Strathcona Provincal Park with its rivers and mountains and who can forget the royal ambiance of Victoria.
Marine Drive winds its way through the coastline and connects West Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay and has majestic beauty. On any given Sunday, the bicylists make claim to its recreational opportunities which include numerous waterfornt parks and sea-to-sky vistas. When you arrive in Horsehoe bay, you are charmed by its simple architecutre and historic marina where the mountains rise up the sea. Numerous shops and restaurants abound. The photos don’t lie – this is a must on your bucket list.
Hi….Can you re-post this post with the full size images?
Wonderful stuff!
If possible, the others too :-)
Hi Harish — so sadly I had a computer hard drive crash and LOST all these pictures (I could cry) but I am very flattered you liked them enough to ask me to make them bigger. Vancouver is a beautiful city — have you ever visited??
No Monica I haven’t. The only places I’ve visited in my life are Malaysia, Thailand and Netherlands.
I love such photos, and makes me wish I live there.
Here are a few pages you mite wanna check out. They’re from a guy whose blog I have been following for a few years. He was born and raised in Vancouver. Its not only about Vancouver but other places too.
Take a look at the quality of pics. I want to learn to photograph the same way, but too lazy.
