French Creek in September

I have a fascination with boats, ships, and all things nautical. French Creek is always an attraction for exactly those reasons. And, if a mid-September day is pleasant, French Creek is all the more worthy of a photo excursion. On this particular day, along with the usual assortment of boats to be encountered, my attention was drawn to miscellaneous "nautical knots and dockside details".

At the End of Royston Road

A while ago, I posted Royston's Red Railing to my blog, A Postcard from Vancouver Island.

I liked the colour and the perspective of this little pier at the end of Royston Road, where it intersects with Marine Drive, and I thought I'd share some of the other pictures taken around the same time.

The view here is of Comox (Port Augusta as it was known in earlier times - circa 1860).
