A Touch of Autumn (3)

at the Skookumchuck Rapadis ... a 5km walk (and 5 km back) from our anchorage at Egmont...

Skookumchuck Narrows forms the entrance of Sechelt Inlet on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast .
Each day, tides force large amounts of seawater through the narrows—200 billion US gallons (760,000,000 m3) of water on a 3-metre (9.8 ft) tide. The difference in water levels on either side of the rapids can exceed 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height. Current speeds can exceed 16 knots (30 km/h),[1] up to 17.68 knots (32.74 km/h).[2] Although it is sometimes claimed to be the fastest tidal rapids in the world,[3] Norway's Saltstraumen reaches speeds of 20 knots (37 km/h).

with fog on the broken shield islands...

Das ist ein wunderschönes Herbstfoto
mit einem natürlichen Bilderrahmen,
der den Blick auf die hohen Wellen lenkt.
Durch den Nebel wirkt das Ganze sehr
geheimnisvoll!
Alles Gute, Jochen

De la brume, des vagues et, au premier plan, des feuilles d'automne qui apportent une teinte vive dans ce paysage typiquement du nord... C'est d'une beauté envoûtante. On sent le vent et l'humidité nous pénétrer, en savourant le plaisir d'allumer tout à l'heure un feu sur la plage ou de regagner la cabine bien chauffée de notre bateau!

playing ping-pong with the ways, the two autum-colored shrubs – or so it seems… ; ) what a beautiful dynamic and moody landscape shot! and very interesting, the facts about the exciting skookumchuck narrows. found out that the name is chinook jargon. love the onomatopoetic ring of it: skookum chuck – powerful water! sounds like an ice bucket challenge in full swing… ; ))) hugs, sabine.

Eine tolle Stimmung, wie im Spätherbst...
das schaut man sich gern auf dem Sofa sitzend und aus einer warmem gemütlichen Stube an.
LG zu dir Conny
