Helliwell Spit

Here's a scan of another negative from the trip out to Vancouver Island.  This shot was taken at Helliwell Provincial Park on Hornby Island.  This the last shot of the day, after hiking around the perimeter of the park.  It was a beautiful spot, but I found very little that was visually motivating.  Perhaps I was just worn out from a long day of shooting and not seeing anything.  It was close to 4:00 in the afternoon when I saw this spit, projecting out into the Strait of Georgia, with the Sunshine Coast on the mainland,visible in the distance.  I took this shot before we packed up and headed back through the woods, to the parking area and the truck.  From there we had to drive across Hornby to catch the ferry to Denman Island.  Then it was a drive across Denman and another ferry to get back to Vancouver Island and the drive up to our rental house at Courtenay.  A great place to visit, but running your life based on these ferry schedules would become very frustrating over time.
