Yesterday at Whytecliff Park, West Vancouver


This cute little rocky tourist attraction in Whytecliff Park at Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver is called Whyte Island, probably after Mr. Whyte, whose ancestors or 'incestors' obviously had some problems with the Queen's English. Come to think of it, so did the Queen away back when.

But I digress - this cute little island is a real magnet for children of all ages from 9 to 90 who love to climb things like this and then gawk at the scenery from on top of it, including me. From the top of this island on a clear day you get a magnificent view of Whytecliff Park.  There's only one catch - you can't get here over that rocky breakwater unless the tide's out, because if it isn't, then you'd have to swim or wade or take a boat, or Scuba your way out to it, all of which have been done already. This is just possibly the cutest little island in captivity, and everyone loves it.
