Bowen Island near Vancouver on a day with very low and wispy clouds

[DLLB]

These were taken last month on a visit to Vancouver. Bowen Island is on the way to Whistler and you catch the ferry at Horseshoe Bay. It's only about a 20 minute ride to the island. It's quite small but is a very neat place.

There was a little beach that we walked to. The view from it was amazing.

There were a lot of trees washed up on the beach.

Good point. That was a very good series.

Great shots. The mist/cloud looks pretty cool, it's just too bad the weather couldn't have been warmer and sunnier for you.

I feel like a tool, I lived in this city my whole life and I have never been to Bowen Island. I'll have to check it out this summer.BTW Are there any decent pubs there?
