Description
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore ....
~ Lord Byron [fr. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage]
* --------------------------- *
Halkett Bay is located on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. It is found on the southeast side of Gambier Island in our world famous scenic Howe Sound on the west coast near West Vancouver.
There are not many residents on this island, which is accessible only by water. There is a popular marine park here for boaters, and a provincial park for those inclined to do some camping, and related outdoor recreational activities.
This image was taken on a day in early spring after a pleasant twenty minute water taxi departure from Horsehoe Bay. The rugged, rocky coast here is naturally framed with conifers and ferns close down by the water's edge. The day was somewhat overcast, which did not detract from the natural beauty at all, but actually enhanced the kind of stillness one finds in a tranquil wilderness setting such as this.
