I went down to take a few pictures in the harbour this past week. More pictures at: NANAIMO HARBOUR.
More pictures of Piper’s Lagoon here: PIPER’S LAGOON. These were taken on a couple of mornings during the past week.
Bowen park is a 10 minute walk from our condo – pictures: BOWEN PARK. I took those a couple of days ago. Englishman River Falls is a 45 minute drive – pictures: ENGLISHMAN RIVER FALLS. I took those yesterday morning. My car was the only one in the parking lot. It was a dreary day which is perfect for taking pictures of water in…
A couple of friends (Vern and Kerry) have mentioned this little park in Nanaimo a number of times. Yesterday I finally got a chance to take a walk through the park and take a few pictures: BEACH ESTATES PARK.
I finally got around to editing the photos from the trip Kim and I did to Nova Scotia: NOVA SCOTIA.
There are two sets of pictures: THE TRIP MY CHOICES Iceland was not on my list of places to go (we mainly went to meet up with our friends). However, now that we have been there, it’s on the top of my list of places to return to. Iceland is wet and cold but it is also amazing – particularly the south, the Snaefellsness…

The Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel is a toll which you have to pay either before you go into the tunnel or within 3 hours of leaving it (you can pay via their web site). A couple of the other tunnels are one-way…
From the Lake Mývatn area we went north to stay two nights in Husavik, a fishing village on the north coast. From there we could return to the Lake Mývatn area (which we didn’t) or go whale watching (which we didn’t). Instead we travelled east along the north coast to a couple of places in Jökulsárgljúfur National Park. It is part of the Vatnajökull…

Below is the Viti crater (Krafla caldera). We also went into the Krafla power station (for a pit stop), wandered around the Hverfjall volcano and the rock formations in the…
