The way it was – Burgoyne Bay
This barrel-roof shed was built (between 1900 and 1910) by Richard Maxwell on his farm near Burgoyne Bay. The shed was built for storage of larger farm equipment and has two, large access doors on the roadside of the building. The farmland is now part of Burgoyne Bay Provincial Park.

From the top – Mt Maxwell
The view from Mt Maxwell Provincial Park
It was a cloudy day when I visited Mt Maxwell Provincial Park, the sort of day that is usually, but not always, good for shooting time-lapse video. This was one of those not so good days as everything was washed out due to the moisture in the air and scattered rain showers.
The views from the top are impressive, including To the southeast Sansum Narrows, Cowichan Bay, Genoa Bay and Crofton to the southeast , and Fulford Harbour and the BC Ferries transiting Swanson Channel to the southwest.
Scattered rain showers are not always my friend…

St Paul’s Roman Catholic Church
St Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, Fulford Harbour, Saltspring
Salt Spring Island’s oldest church was founded in 1878 by Father Donckele, the first Roman Catholic missionary to the Gulf islands.
Erected between 1880 and 1885 by members of the community, the windows, door and bell were acquired from father Rondeault’s “Butter Church” in Cowichan Bay. The church was formally dedicated on May 10, 1885, by Bishop J. B. Brondel.
