I am always amazed at how the land, sea and sky can become one. This scanned photo was taken the first day I came to the Islands in 1999. I had arrived by seaplane from the mainland and my introduction to the islands began with a drive out and on to North Beach. I remember asking my host to stop so I could get out and take a picture...my first on the islands! I was amazed at how a beach could give up a reflection and how everything became one!

A great illution of walking on the water! Now I know it's possible!
And beautiful shot too! Really looks like heaven and earth comes together!
Oh wow that first photo looks like the person is literally walking on water. Nice shot!
Breathtaking scenes! That first picture is amazing!
Beautiful beach, beautiful reflection. It does seem that sky and sea become one. Lovely photo.
Such beautiful country, minimal and elegant, here...
You have an artist's eye. This picture is worth 2000 words. I doubt it will be very spring-like in Ontario if you come in the next couple of weeks. We are heading to Ottawa on the long weekend and hope the cold weather lasts for Winterlude. Then spring can come :-)
That reminds me of the days I lived on Cape Cod, digging for clams on "South" Beach ... Those were the days!
This is a piece of art. Excellent capture!
That photo is awesome - in the true sense of the word. Love this breathtaking intersection of land and sky and humanity. I quite see why you fell in love ...
I've spent the last few mintues staring at this photo, it is outstanding. Well done.
Have a great weekend!

That is an amazing shot with such silvery colors. I love your composition with the person walking away from the camera toward the sea. Lovely.
What a stunning photo - it's absolutely perfect. One to return to.

You do live in a truely beautiful part of the world. Thanks for sharing this photo with sky watch friday fans.
Superb composition
What a beautiful picture! The whole landscape appears to be made of silver. Wow!
Thank you for this, so much!
That photo is glorious!!The way all the colours are shades of the same colour, and the clouds are reflected in the water! The person adds scale to the whole, which might have been anchorless without!!
What an auspicious beginning to your life in the islands!
Hi Carolyn,
Wonderful image! I also love the reflection and how vast that beach. wonderful how shades of gray can create a scene.
Walking on the wather :) Amazing shot :)
Have a nice weekend :)
Great photo...beautiful color tones...love the reflection...
Hi Carolyn! Thanks for your comment of encouragement. I'm especially glad because it's given me an opportunity to discover your blog. The pictures are gorgeous! I've just subscribed.
That is an exquisite picture! I have never been to Haida Gwaii, but I was born on Vancouver Island, and Parksville often looks like that.
Gorgeous!
An amazing shot, and you have many others on your blog. You live in a place I've always wanted to visit. I'm quite a bit south on the mainland (Powell River). I'll be following your posts now that I found you. I invite you to come see my foggy contribution. - Margy
