Beaufort Range

Near Comox, Vancouver Island

Early morning on the River

A sunset at Hyde Creek.

One of these days I am going to get down to the beach in the daylight and plan a shoot it is always a scramble in the low light when we see a good sunset. I guess that's what the pros do.

Hyde Creek

Zeballos River

In the clouds

At the top of a mountain looking down to the forest and fog below.

The Vanishing Forest.

Looking straight down the mountain watching as the fog envelops the trees.

Forest and Fog.

Tucked Away

A tiny pond close to a main highway, we would have never found it on foot.

Isolated mountain lake.

Out 4x4ing on the north island. We climbed up to 2500ft.

North Island river estuary.

During low tide.

Fireweed

The hills are covered in these beautiful pink flowers for the remainer of the summer. Looking southeast over Lady Ellen penninsula.

Alice Lake

North Island Waterfall

We were hours from anywhere driving the logging roads when we saw this beautiful waterfall. We checked the area over the first pass, then thought no too difficult to get in, then drove away. On the way back we stopped and looked again, ok, we have to photograph it! Not easy it ended up being a very physically challenging shoot. By the time we have finished the shoot, climbing around bush wading through water and slippery rocks, we had the shots we came for. Back on the road, we high fived, pleased we made an effort.

Half way up.

From where we were situated on the creekside.

Lake Victoria

A 27 image merge of Victoria lake north end looking south.

The end of the lake.

I like crusing the backroads for little gems like this. It can be very peaceful and calming on weekends when the logging trucks are parked not sneaking around corners and jumping out at us, we have had the odd wake up. This day I was by myself other than the noises coming from the forest there was not a soul around.

Creek and bog/marsh.

The other side of the road.

The middle of the road.

The black spot left of the bridge is me wearing my very stylish black bug suit. I need to concentrate on flying not swat at moquitos, horse/deer flies or black flies ...sometimes all at the same time with a few nats. The marshes are heaven for bugs and of course birds.

Decommissioned train trestle.

We attempted to walk across. I turned around about a quarter of the way.

Double Down Falls

It looks like an easy fly from this vantage however I was not feeling brave enough to fly down this morning, too much turbulent air. Next time.

A bridge at the 90.

On occasion we see black bears bathing in this creek but not this evening. We did see one on the road which I captured with my DLSR. I do not fly my drone near wildlife it is strickly for landscapes.
