Nice shots.

This must had been that day in late June when we got that massive cloudburst.

This must had been that day in late June when we got that massive cloudburst.

It was a Saturday, and the dragon-boat "Paddle-Fest" was happening. I don't think it actually rained too hard on that afternoon; must have been "more bark than bite" from those clouds.

Some August 2011 views of Nanaimo:
- From a Departure Bay - Horseshoe Bay ferry one summer evening:
---------------------

- I like how you can see the tops of the tall buildings, plus the St. Peter's church on the right-side.




- The development above Pipers Lagoon area forms a very lovely "U" shape, cut from the in-the-way trees and natural landscape. "U" stands for "ugly".....



- and a zoom-out for ugly context


-----------

- and there's something to be said for perfect lighting for a photograph. This shot was taken this morning at Jack Point park.

Thanks Barrie. I think I may have captured your home in my highrise photo.

Yes, we have arrived and are loving Nanaimo. Yesterday we walked out to Jack Point, so we could relate to your photos.

It is hard to take a photo of Waterfront Nanaimo without getting our building involved.

Keep on sending out photos. It will give us ideas of where to explore next. I am not sure on what the Ugly "U" area was, but I did drive up to the top of College Drive and I must say the views looking down into Nanaimo were spectacular.
