Vancouver Island: Tofino and Ucluelet

May 10, 2021 in canada, hiking, photography, travel
vancouver island

Our visit to Vancouver Island feels like a lifetime ago. At the end of 2019, my partner Silas had a conference in Vancouver, so we tacked on a week on the island and soaked up all the salty air and rain and fog. I still find myself dreaming in these pictures some days. Especially in the desert sun when even my skin feels parched.

We stayed in a studio in Tofino. We drove to all of the beaches, Chesterman, Cox Bay, and Long Beach, and walk. I balanced on giant pieces of slippery driftwood. We watched the gulls flock together along the shoreline, and the eagles spread their wings wide at the forest’s edge.
