Elk Falls

August 12, 2015

elk_falls-15-07-254852-1

This may not look all that scary to you. But it sure was to us. What you don’t see is the deceivingly calm water hole just 20 metres upstream (there’s a sign that says no lifeguard on duty!) And the other thing you don’t see—is a very large waterfall just 10 metres downstream. There have been fatalities here.
This spring a 60 metre suspension bridge—65 metres above the canyon floor was opened to the public. Also new is a viewing platform at edge of the canyon wall. The platform provides an unimpeded view of the falls. Some snapshots below:

Ice Cream Antics

Ice Cream Antics at Glads

Ice Cream is a source of entertainment for those who eat it and for those who just watch.

Elizabeth May and the Debate

August 8, 2015

Elizabeth May, Sannich-Gulf Islands

Elizabeth May signs appeared on Salt Spring Island the day the 2015 federal election was announced. She and her merry band of volunteers were first to the sign posts. And I noticed the campaign office is already open on Salt Spring.

And was it just me or did she not—once again—seem to be the voice of knowledge, experience and reason during the (August 6th MacLean’s) debate?
Unlike the others, it seemed she wasn’t reading from a prepared script but actually knew about everything she and the others were discussing.
Perhaps she should be involved in more than just this one debate?
Lucky to have her representing the Gulf Islands.

Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island

August 7, 2015

Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island

The stories about remote west coast life in the early days of Telegraph Cove are eye-opening. Many of the early buildings remain. Several of the homes and cabins on pilings along the town’s boardwalk can be rented. Some of the paint could use a touch-up. Or not.
