It's BC day! Here's some BC pictures

Here's the capital a night.



Here's the empress hotel, where the opening scene of a James Bond book once took place.



Nice pic of the Pacific rim trail, thanks to Mark Zinzig



What I think is a pic of the cascade mountains



Capiliano suspension bridge in Vancouver



A neat shot of downtown Vancouver



Vancouver at night



Here's the last pic of one of the Gulf Islands which is a haven for US draft dodgers. Beautiful place, full of red arbutus trees. I wish I could show more pics there is so much more like the kootneys, and the dessert in the okanagan. But I bet I've already pissed off DU enough with this big post. Hope you enjoyed the pics, that I collected from the web.

Those are some lovely pictures!!! :)

You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Happy B.C. Day!

:toast:

Someday I will dare to ask what is clotted cream.

Yeah but that tea is like $27 bucks a pop isn't it?

But still a great place to spend a few weeks.

As is the Garden.

On Arbutus Street. That is the BEST High Tea outside England. And it's nothing close to $27 :hi: .

HeyHey, where's home? Thanks for the pics. It's nice to see the ol' homestead being shown off!

Port Moody, Tri Cities all the way baby! You?

Thanks for the pics! Nice! B.C. is beautiful, no way around it.

Anyone ever stayed in the San Juan Islands, Galiano, Salt Spring, any of those between Victoria and Vancouver? Recommend vacation lodging? (Non-corporate pirate budget, please.)

No foolin', that's what it's called. Nice B&B on Vancouver Island, half way between Victoria and Nanaimo. Gorgeous view of the smaller islands... Sorry, don't have the contact info, but I'll look...

I worked as a journalist on Gabriola Island. WHat are you looking for exactly? I know everyone on the island. Or on the others I can recomend some place.

Well, I've taken vacations in the vicinity, but never on the islands. Just somewhere to enjoy nature -- easy hikes, birdwatching, bicycling. Ideal place would have access to a phone line, be relatively quiet, and possibly allow a pet (I know, that part can be a deal-breaker).

What's the best way to find places there, HEyHEY?
