You never know what you'll see when you take your camera on a local hike. This image was taken on the same photo outing as the picture of the North Island Princess (NIP), also found in this album. You may notice the intimidating black clouds that overhang the NIP – the same clouds as in this image. This picture was taken only two minutes later than the NIP photo. But what a difference in the light! Here, we are looking north into the teeth of an approaching storm, whereas the NIP is bathed in bright sunlight looking westward. The storm is so low over the water in this image that it almost totally obscures Harwood Island (that thin black line on the horizon). Harwood is usually easily seen since it is only about five miles across the water from Grilse Point, where I was standing (the most northerly point on Texada Island). I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and with my camera to take this powerful picture.
