Pictures of a vacation - 07.16.99 - 07.31.99

A very wet place
So I walk into this Petro Canada in Victoria and ask to use their facilities. Upon returning, I say to the fellow, "Just so you know, it looks like someone took a hose to your bathroom. " He says, "Oh, yeah...that's how we clean our bathrooms."
Next!

Leetle boat. Beeg Mountain. Lots of water.
Taken from the ferry back to the mainland, this phantom of an image lasted quite a while. It was an awesome sight. Oh, you know those ferries that cost BC $150 million (or was that $150 million over budget?); they were just as slow as their predecessors! Suckers.

Interesting choice of canvas
These are some feet I met on the ferry. I've seen painted toes before, but the contrast and pattern really stuck out. I'm sure some guy taking a picture of feet kind of stuck out, too, but whatdyagonnado?

The light! I can see the light!
Driving down the Coquihalla Highway one afternoon, I saw a lot of mist. I had no idea the picture would come out looking this dramatic (not that I am displeased!)

Gold!
This was taken near Golden, BC, appropriately enough. After several twists and turns, this casualty -- due to its slight lack of focus -- of driving was finally taken. Please don't try this sort of thing at home.

Going down...fast!
I love these signs. (yes...taken while driving...quickly). They mean a fairly steep decline is approaching. Not a sudden decline, but a lengthy decline at a bit of an angle. In this case, it's an 8% grade. An 8% grade will let me put my car into neutral and coast at ONE HUNDRED FORTY KM! A 6% grade will let me coast at 120. There were times I did not touch the gas for 10 minutes. This is how car driving should always be. Also, I hear putting one's car into neutral is illegal. So maybe I'm making this up. You can't touch me.
