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.

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.

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.

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.

Diaramas always make great 3D photos. In the wild it would never happen that a mammoth hold still long enough for me to set up the tripod.
