Like the perspective in this one Les and the mist on the water in fact the whole thing is GREAT

@jamesy: Thanks, Debbie. The boat was moving and I was a little concerned about the sharpness of the photo, but it all turned out as I hoped.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Beautiful nature spot, and it has a special little feeling of it being your special corner :)

@Lorraine: That's exactly what it is, Lorraine. I love Sidney, BC, as well as the surrounding area. Definitely a special place.

Namaki from Bordeaux, France

thank you for nice comment ... what's interesting to me in that shot are the flowers... I have seen them in Northern Wales and in the mountains in Switzerland ... They sure can grow anywhere and must be very resistant !

@Namaki: Aren't they beautiful, Namaki? I'm not sure what they are. Perhaps loosestrife?

JJ from Jersey City, United States

love how you have composed this with the flowers and rocks in view, then slowly moving in to the tower, then the misty background which gives a nice serene feel to this

@JJ: Thanks so much, JJ. I took a few shots of the beacon and then as we rounded the point, I saw the perfect picture. I was so pleased there wasn't much of a wake from the boat passing us into the marina!
