A scene viewed from a ferry ( Q of Cumberland) with a really big lens ... Gulf Islands view with Portlock Point Lighthouse in the left foreground, Galiano Island in distance & the Coast Mountains across Georgia Strait in the far distance. 8 November 2017 The mountains in this view are in & around Mount Garibaldi, I believe. Portlock Point Lighthouse is now a part of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. Take a read on this ... © WCK-JST by Jim Thorne, on Flickr

Looking towards Gibsons from deck 3 of the Queen of Surrey on a foggy December day. If you squint, you can just make out a Raven perched at Langdale. (I tried to get a decent shot, but given the lack of a real camera, the low light and the fog it didn't work out...) Langdale from the Queen of Surrey by KC, on Flickr

I'm on board the Baynes Sound Connector and looking at a thin line of Denman Island in the fog. - morning of February 4, 2018 DSC00197 by Mike Bonkowski, on Flickr

Here is a dashboard camera view of a car & ferry trip from Fanny Bay area to Hornby Island, and back. I went to Hornby for a work trip (the video will show you where), and so I had camera fun on my trip.
I post this as a tribute to those who've done this journey before me: - To the farmers with their wagons on the Water Lily - To the Studebakers on the Hornby Island V - To the Dung Bomb on the Quinitsa

When you left the Co-op gas station, you briefly turned on to Sollans, as if you were heading to my place (I wasn't on the island) but then you turned around. How come? You could have continued down and seen the controversial Warhol soup can water tank.

You could have continued down and seen the controversial Warhol soup can water tank. My friend Katherine had a no-fee special on film distribution to the Word-of-Mouth group, so I took advantage of it. - I try to be a member of the prime local Facebook group on each island that I visit, so that I can share vacation photos or work-trip photos like this. Sometimes the group lets me join (Sointula, Pender, SaltSpring, Gabriola), and other times I get the non-local thumbs-down. I was wondering how much commercial or community-service things were near the Sollans & Central intersection, so I did the brief turn-off to see the library area, just out of curiosity. I figured it was the 2nd busiest corner on the island. I forgot that I could have continued down that road to Grassy Point and gotten back to Central Road further on. My other excuse is that I was aiming to catch a ferry, to get home in time to watch the Super Bowl.

The corner of Central and Sollans is definitely the center of Hornby's community services. Within a very few hundred metres, you have the school, pre-school, hall, seniors center, new archive building, library, medical clinic, social services building, dental clinic, and credit union. Nearby is the ballpark, recycling center, cemetery, and new firehall. I've sometimes thought it would be nice if the island could have developed all these facilities in concert with a commercial hub; then you would have what could properly be called a village center. But it didn't happen that way.

Is that our now very infrequent contributor, Kather Anne? That is her. You can find her at a Facebook photo group called "Vancouver Island Images." One of the most interesting people that I've ever met on the internet.

Not my video, but are any of you able to identify the ferry in this video from just the short clip at :40 in the video? It must be one the Coastals, probably the Inspiration because that has to be Route 30, right? This is just as likely to be route 1 as route 30, so the ferry in question could be any of the three Coastals ... It is not uncommon to see this 'line in the water' when the Fraser is in 'freshet' in May - June. In June a few years back I saw Fraser water meeting ocean blue in Active Pass, half way on the route between Tsawwassen & Swartz Bay. www.flickr.com/photos/41465870@N04/8218719365/in/datetaken/
