By the time of our first wedding anniversary, Karin and I were still managing our romance long-distance. Here is the trip I made up to see my wife. From Kelowna we headed across the mountains to Victoria, BC.
These are photos taken on my Fuji W3 stereo camera.

Patricia Bay ↑ →
High on the list of things Karin wanted me to see was Patricia Bay, where she spent the happiest years of her childhood exploring the constantly changing sea shore just below the house they lived in at the time.

Victoria BC ← ↑ →
We had a very nice hotel for our stay in historic Victoria.

Whale Watching ← ↑ ↓ →
The other item high on our list was to go view orcas.

Whale Closeups ↑ →
These photos were taken by fellow whale-watcher Paul Fox from England, who with his wife, was there at the same time. He had a much better camera than either of ours.

Video ← ↑
Here is a compilation video from our whale-watching adventure. I provide it in three quality versions. The left-most is best picture quality, but requires a high-speed connection. Center and right-most will stutter less at medium and slow connections.

These photos are from the return trip back over the mountains toward Kelowna. I'll put up another page for photos taken at Kelowna itself. Those together with these were too many for a single web page.
Here is where I'll soon arrange the photos taken on Karin's camera.
