Evening in Porteau Cove

on our way back from Brackendale as always a stop in Porteau Cove on Howe Sound, a fjord of the Pacific Ocean ...

Porteau Cove is located on the Howe Sound fjord, 38 km north of Vancouver on the Sea-to-Sky Highway. Other nearby communities include Brackendale and Lions Bay. The park is 50 hectares in size, and offers picnicing, camping, swimming, windsurfing, and a boat launch. Porteau Cove is a very popular area for scuba diving, with a series of artificial reefs including two sunken vessels. (thank you, Wikipedia)


especially for Conny11. and Stefan J.A.M. who will remember this place fondly ...

    Your choice of composition is excellent with the beautiful light just sneaking around the tree in this lovely looking spot.

    Looks great in this light.
    Too bad you forgot to bring the chainsaw
    to chop down this silly tree ;o[

    now who would have thought that winter could look so gently forgiving! what a lovely view of the fjord! the pacific in its most domestic version and being entirely true to its tranquil name! ; ) my favorite detail is the spot on the silhouetted tree, where the sun is brushing against the bark! without him, the pale-yellow sun, the image would look almost monochromic! hugs, sabine.

    Porteau Cove, I love this name with some french consonnance on it.
