Make sure you take the friendly folks at the Conservation Authority or MOE or MNR out for a few rounds of golf to get your application to the top of the pile.

Golf. Conservation. Talk about a conflict of interest.

It's a field. A field with some ponds. A field once in canola. A field soon to be sown in grass, if a deal can be struck with them Mennonites. Eventually a field with fences and structures and whatnot. A bit of a challenge

This one is for Atlantic Xpat.

Some time ago he posted a picture of the Cape Spear Lighthouse. Which for some time with his permission I used as my desktop wallpaper.

This is the Fisgard Lighthouse just outside Victoria B.C.

Cheers

A challenge? For you two? Sounds like a doddle. Viel glueck or whatever Mennonites say these days.

I assume that as ever one of the equines would be an ass?

Thank you kind sir. Not doing too well.

Here are three panoramas from the same trip.

The first Fisgard lighthouse again, second the beach at French Beach Provincial Park, just west of Sooke B.C. and third the Sunken Garden at The Butchart Gardens just north of Victoria B.C. All three taken on a recent vacation in Victoria and will print at full sized 12"x24"

Just seen this. Nice photo Steve. Could almost be Newfoundland! Funnily enough I was at Cape Spear last week, with some visiting family. Haven't been there for ages. Took some photos but none, I think that compare to that one.


Cheers,
AX

Thank you to both of you.

A little info on the Fisgard lighthouse.

The first lighthouse on Canada's west coast is still in operation! There hasn't been a keeper here since the light was automated in 1929, but every year many thousands of visitors step inside a real l9th century light, and capture some of the feeling of ships wrecked and lives saved.

Built by the British in 1860, when Vancouver Island was not yet part of Canada, Fisgard's red brick house and white tower has stood faithfully at the entrance to Esquimalt harbour. Once a beacon for the British Royal Navy's Pacific Squadron, today Fisgard still marks home base for the Royal Canadian Navy.
The image in my original post is sized to fit a 24" wide screen monitor if anyone would like to use it as desktop wallpaper feel free.

Cheers
Steve
