Marina Cutie

I originally posted this in November 2007, but I'm reposting because I just got word that this photo is one of seven winners in the Spirit of Cowichan BC 150 photo contest. I don't know what placement or what prize yet...I get to find that out on May 3 when the official announcement is made.

This photo was taken at the marina in Cowichan Bay, BC. The little blue and yellow boat just jumped out at me and begged to be photographed.

UPDATE - MAY 3: Meh...I should have known better than to get my hopes up. I thought I may have gotten the grand prize in this contest, but I only got an honorable mention. Oh well, the HM was worth 50 bucks.

God has left the building

This is the interior of the Butter Church, the exterior of which is in the previous posting.

The Butter Church

This old stone church on native land just outside of Duncan in Cowichan Bay, BC is known at the "Butter Church." It was built in 1870 and got it's name because it was funded by the sale of butter from the church's dairy.

Couple of sunsets

Would you beleive these shots were taken from the same place on the same evening? The top shot was taken about 45 minutes befor the bottom one. The top shot uses a 112mm focal length while the bottom is at 18mm. These shots were taken at Cowichan Bay looking toward Duncan and Mt. Prevost on Thursday evening.
