22-JAN-2010 Racine Erland

Sun, Water and Mountains

Piper's Lagoon, Vancouver Island, BC

A sunny day....whoopee! We jumped in the car and headed out to enjoy the world
and it was beautiful. We stopped at Piper's Lagoon, an oceanside park located
in Nanaimo, BC, and joined others who were out photographing the view. The
lagoon is the size of a couple of football fields, with a narrow, straight dyke
cutting it off from the surf. Looking east from the dyke you see the Coastal
Mountain Range and the waters of Georgia Strait.

What a great view though the grasses. The mountains look so clear and the buoy is such a nice bonus, like a connection between the sea and land.
