    Default Pictures from the Gulf Islands

    I'd love to see some photos from Gabriola, Saltspring, DeCourcy; all the islands that are smaller than Vancouver Island itself.

    Here is a good photo blog from Protection Island, right across the harbour from downtown. And here are more Protection Island photos here in the forums.

    Here is the "causeway", the channel between Newcastle Island and Protection Island. If anybody sees that the image has been updated with one of low tide, please let me know.

    Two summers ago I lived on Saltspring while housitting an amazing property on the North End. I also worked at the Treehouse in Fullford. Here's a couple of shots. First one (Guest Cabin I stayed in) Second (view from cabin) Thrid (Fulford Harbour) Fourth (In Fullford)

    Awesome. Nice place! (First pic)
    Is Fullford Harbour the long one on the northeast side?

    Fullford in the Harbour on the south end. If you were to take the ferry from Victoria, it would put you there. It is the most underdeveloped area of the Island.

    This is over the backyard fence at my place. The cabin's fairly old, collapsed and raccoon infested now.

    This was taken on Hornby Island, at Little Tribune Bay.

    This is a place we rented for a week a couple of years ago on Salt Spring Island...it's called "Pond House" I highly recommend it!

    Here is a picture I think was on the side of Saturna Island as we were sailing past sometime last year.
    Do you see the face in the rock?
