Campbell River Waterfront.

A change for todays blog, a rest from looking at trees and waterfalls, mostly man-made sites today. The waterfront runs along Discovery Channel, lots of boats, recreation in the marina and a large fishing fleet, which pleased Ruth no end as the fleet in Whitby is tiny compared to when her Dad was fishing from there.

 

One of the fishing boats, Quadra Island on the other side of the boat obscured by the fog, this fog has been around for 6 days now, Ruths sister wanted to know how it compared with a Whitby sea fret so Val you tell me.

 

Lots of these wonderful carvings along the waterfront.

 

This amazing carving is 

in an old burial ground, the tent-canopy behind are part of the cruise terminal.
                         






     






This totem is at the entrance to the ferry terminal to Quadra Island.

In 2011 there was a chainsaw carving competition, these 3 carvings were the top three.   Top left was third, top right second and the winner was this chap on the left.















On the other side of the road is the float plane airport with lots of DH- Beavers in various states of repair, I counted nine.

Lovely old plane.

 

This one has been modified - a three bladed propeller -  the radial engine is original I think, will have to consult Google about the propeller change.            This one is missing its tail plane.

             

The final photo of a totem pole on the waterfront.
