The theme for September 2010's header will be Terminals of the Southern Gulf Islands. Just like a year or two ago, when we did the major terminals, I want the terminal to be prominent in the photo, and not just a ferry. We will accept 3 submissions per member. However, each of your 3 submissions must be of different terminals. Terminals that are allowed are the three Saltspring Island terminals (Long Harbour, Vesuvius, Fulford Harbour), Pender Island (Otter Bay), Saturna Island (Lyall Harbour), Mayne Island (Village Bay), and Galiano Island (Sturdies Bay, Montague Harbour). If there are some old photos from other ferry landings like Ganges or Miners Bay, I'll accept those as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nominations will end on August 30th at 10:30 PM PDT. Voting will occur shortly thereafter. As usual, please note that the maximum dimensions for submissions is 960 x 240. We will allow a spread from 840 x 200 up to 960 x 240 for the header image. Please post your entry as a reduced image to the forum with a maximum width of 800 pixels, as well as a link to the full-sized image below. For further information, please see our Forum Flagship Rules . |

BC Ferries considers it a Southern Gulf Island... |

I thought of all those, but for now I want to keep it to the 5 islands I have named. If there's a problem getting good submissions after a few days, I'll add a few islands to the mix.

How are you with adding Bowen Island (Snug Cove)? BC Ferries considers it a Southern Gulf Island... Really? I would have thought it would be considered its own entity, or part of the Sunshine Coast. It is not particularly close to the Southern Gulf Islands. |

It is not particularly close to the Southern Gulf Islands. Really. I would've thought the same. I'll try to find the quote from BC Ferries' site if you'd like... |

From my perspective (and store-chest of photos) the 7 qualifying terminals are enough choice/opportunity for us.
I went through my own pictures and found qualifying banner shots of each of the 7 terminals, and then had fun deciding which 3 terminals had the best shots.

My Entries for this Month... Is this Otter Bay, Pender Island? After comparing Ship-Rider 16's photo with some of my own taken from the water, I am pretty much certain that the photo is indeed taken at Otter Bay. You might say that this picture really otter be in this months 'contest'. |

You are both right indeed. This photo was taken from inside the Otter Bay Terminal back in August 2005.
