Saturna Island

I'm back.

I had a lovely time over at Pat's cabin on Saturna. I've only been to the island twice before to attend the island's annual Lamb Barbeque held every Canada Day with G. It's nice to actually stay there for longer than just a short day. What particularly amazed me was the night sky - never in my life have I seen so many stars at once at night. Looking further, the mainland glows with a purple-ish hue from all the lights and pollution... no wonder we can't see so many stars from our location in the lower mainland.

breathe -
Then there's the water.
the warm breeze, that smiles with your own.
and the sky.


looking out from the deck


catching a sunrise


and the pink of the clouds at dawn


the TV tower - the highest point on the southern gulf islands


looking out from the tv tower


the arbutus trees were everywhere


fine tuning your senses


we walked along the shoreline, rocks smoothed and rippled from years of sand and waves



salt and solid grooves



the little white house on the hill





I apologize about the size of the photos.. I don't want to resize them, heh. *shrugs* There's more pictures of the drinking stuffs and more, but I'll keep them out of here.
