Here is a photo i took on my Vacation to a place called Hornby Island. Its a very small Hippie island off of Vancouver Island(where I live) which is in BC, I'm going to put it into the Canada wide photo thing going on as this represents the Island so well. Peaceful and opens your mind.
Tell me what you think!

Very nice. I was visiting some relatives on Vancouver Island not too long ago and was bummed out that schedules didn't permit a trip to any of the adjacent isles.

Where on the Island did you visit? to get to hornby Island you have to drive 3.5 hours upisland(from Victoria) to get to the ferry terminal the you have to take the ferry to denman island then drive to the other side of that island to get to the ferry for hornby

I like Hornby Island. White sand beaches and all.

The cafe near the ferry terminal makes the best blueberry sour cream pie. ;o)

Don't have a map handy, but the place we were visting was a two hour drive north from the ferry terminals at the southern tip.

regarding the picture, on my monitor I'm seeing some type of rings radiating out from the center of the image, though very faint.

that is something i added in when i put on the Vignette. I put it there to very faintly give off a aroma type thing coming from my model, like she's summoning a storm in the sky
