Trip to Tofino

I had never been to Tofino before.  I loved the idea of a Canadian Surfing resort. Most peoples understanding of Canada is that it is a frozen Tundra for 9 months of the year and then has a brief and intense 3 week summer. Well, in some parts of Canada (like the Arctic) that may be true, but thats not true in British Columbia (BC). We are fortunate in BC to have a pretty mild climate. It rains in winter (a fair amount) the summers here are great, warm days, cool evenings and some of the most pristine and breathtaking scenery on the planet. One of those special places is Tofino. I was only there for a weekend, but managed to get some great seascapes and forest scenes. The coast is rugged and makes for great shots. Here are some images I made on the weekend there. Some with my SLR and others with my iPhone!

  1. Greetings Barry, no disrespect, I should be happy, as your images make my normal images look not too bad. Sorry to disappoint, but these images from Tofino, are not up to your usual standard of excellence & inspiration. For me,I’m afraid only the second one comes close to your norm.

    1. Hi Ron. Thanks for your comments and feedback, always appreciated. I would have loved to spend more time in Tofino, working withe the weather to get better images, the first two images were shot on the same night at Sunset. The 3 that follow were shot on my iPhone, so they are simply some snapshots of what I saw. Unfortunately it was pouring with rain for most of the time, but I plan to go back and do it justice!
