Old Neptune

from the abandoned fuel dock at Minstrel Island

thank you to all for your interest in my latest photos from Minstrel Island ....

one has to imagine a very small island covered by bush and rock, inhabitated by bears, far away from the Mainland and from Vancouver Island, accessible only after passing through dangerous waterways full of currents or by seaplane ... there is no electricity, no running water, no store, no doctor, no library, no, no, no, no .... and then comes the fog and the winter storms. What first was idyllic gets difficult to handle - and when leaving the place you only have a small boat to pack things into and .... maybe you plan to go back.
Well, I have been trying to imagine what it must have been like, but the isolation and just meeting people who happen to come your way would make life so hard !!!

Hier ist dir eine sehr gute Detailaufnahme in SW gelungen..
Ich glaube schon, dass es sehr einsam und eine Herausforderung ist auf einer solchen kleinen Insel zu leben...Idylle ist das eine aber der Alltag sieht oft ganz anders aus.
LG und ein schönes WE Conny

You say that the inhabitants had to leave the island for the conditions meteorogiche?
the black and white high contrast makes it very interesting these abandoned objects that are no longer needed, excellent realization
hugs, Adriana

Photo is sharp and heavy as the isolation itself.
Reading the title and description makes it even heavier.
Excellent work!
