I finally got some time to come visit, Sister.

Fav'd!!!
This amazing image makes we want to go back and visit this beautiful place.
No wonder they call it Spirit Island. It must have been special to stand there.
The trees in front and the mountains in the back make the island look even more special.
What a beautiful image this is.

Hi Colette, Jeff, Michelle, William, Shelly and SSSKiki :D

To stand where I stood and see what I saw here was a moment I shall never forget. I am so grateful for camera's. Aren't you? All of those times where we lick and think (or say) "YES!" This was one of them and I am happy to share it with you.

I did get a wonderful feeling there and I got several angles that change the entire look. I even got one of a man skipping rocks from the peninsula but it did't turn out. It looks more like he had a bad crick in his back. HeeHee...Can't win them all.

SSSKiki, please come back. We will go there together. The boat ride was long and beautiful and this destination was the prize. You coming back to Canada would be MY PRIZE! xoxo

O Canada!!!
Scenes like this make me wish I would hurry up and win the lottery, so I could take a train ride from Vancouver to Calgary (anticipating a wonderful visit with my sweet friend, Pom). Then we'd go see Spirit Island together, to share the experience of exploring this gorgeous place.
Your composition of this shot is perfect, Pom ~ the sense of depth is outstanding. #10836918
