National Park with Highway 16 and St. Peter's. It's in need of an upgrade.
We've already seen the interpretive centre, so we'll just fly past
it at 90 km/h.
One of the fishing villages on the south side of St. Peter's Bay.
From left to right: Laurie Collishaw (Ross' wife), Ross Collishaw
(first cousin once removed).
From left to right: Shirley MacClure (aunt), William Matheson
(self). I'm much better off standing next to Aunt Shirley than Ross, so
as not to look so much like the runt of the family.

The lookoff at the end of the Greenwich Dunes Trail. This is one of
the many photos I took that didn't get framed quite right because the optical
viewfinder that I used instead of the LCD screen (in the hopes of saving
precious battery power) didn't remain in sync with what the lens was pointing
at (and I imagine this compounded with the problem that without the LCD
it was impossible to tell if I moved the camera away too soon after pressing
the shutter - by far the most annoying requirement of digital photography).
Since then I've used the LCD exclusively, but I guess I needed this photographic
disaster to teach me the lesson. I lost dozens of great shots on this excursion
- for instance, when Ross and Laurie used the optical viewfinder (as per
stupid me's directions) to take a picture of Aunt Shirley and I seated
on a boardwalk bench, what actually got shot were the boardwalk planks
and the shadows of our legs. Needless to say, I was quite diappointed when
it finally occoured to me to go over what I shot, and I deleted a lot of
pictures as soon as I got back to the van.
By now I've become aware of the problem, so we're back to my standard,
boring "65% sky" method of framing.
The clouds came up for the trip back, and it rained a little.
