Ammonite Falls

This is one of the coolest spots that I have been so far in Nanaimo, right off the end of Jameson Road this half hour hike to the falls is totally worth checking out. It gets its name from fossilized ammonites that are in the rock surrounding the waterfall. The best part is the ropes you have to use to get down the steep muddy bank down to the falls, pretty awesome. Some day I would like to go back and throw something off it, or at least throw a big log in and watch it go over, or maybe a flaming boat like a viking burial...

Sunny Days!

As the weather has been unbelievable and classes have been winding down, me an Jenny have been outside doing as much as we can that has nothing to do with school. These pictures are from Colliery Dam Park, Stephenson Point Beach, and of course Bowen Park. Last night was a clear full moon night and I got some awesome photos in the moonlight of the pulp mill and the moon and beach. Hopefully the wicked weather keeps up. The photos of the moon and the mill I took with my old Nikon telephoto lens using my NX to F mount lens adapter which lets me use my old Nikon lenses for my 35mm film camera on my Samsung NX body. I got it on eBay for $22, totally worthwhile. I hope you enjoy, and I am looking forward to coming home to Alberta with a hunger to explore more of my own beautiful province, a journey I think is long overdue.
