#292 Snow or Ice
Malahat Viewpoint Summit looks over the Saanich Inlet and BC Gulf Islands and this is how it looked a week ago. from the VancouverIsland.com website:
Named after the Malahat First Nation, this rugged region of heavy forest and steep cliffs is traversed by one of the most beautiful roadways in the world.

First cut as a cattle trail in 1861, it was upgraded to wagon-road standards in 1884, and became a paved road in 1911 - the Malahat Drive climbs to a summit of 356 metres (1,156 ft).
In spite of the highway, the Malahat is of great ceremonial significance to the Malahat First Nation, whose ancestors used the caves for spiritual enchancement - this mountain is one of the most sacred sites on southern Vancouver Island.

Maybe the totem is trying to ward off more snow? Fun shot!
I hope so! It's spring now---we just need the weather to prove it! *grin*
I thought I recognized the Totem for Eternal Winters. OOps maybe I should not have said that, Nice photo.
It is a fun shot, hopefully that's all the snow we'll see.
Brrrr, they look really cold - no wonder they are as hard as rock - frozen there! :)
Lovely totem! The cloud covering the peaks in the background adds a lot to the scene. Great processing....
Fun shot and full of interest.
That's a great totem.
Snow or ice? LOL! All I can see is that great totem!! Great shot!
Somehow I missed all of your photos since March 10th. I don't know what happened but they are very colorful and beautifully captured. I hope you come up in my feeder so it doesn't happen again.
I really like your new Easter header. The Easter colors and eggs are a sure sign that Spring has arrived.
GREAT shot. The totem looks so majestic against that beautiful background!
