Gabriola Photography Club’s next field trip is on Wednesday afternoon, October 11. We’ll be focusing our lenses on “Rusty Relics” – some of Gabriola’s old and abandoned vehicles.
Gather – rain or shine – at 1 pm in the Agi Hall parking lot on South Road, Gabriola Island. Please park in the north lot (the end closest to the ferry terminal). From there, we’ll drive and/or carpool to a number of sites, ending back in the Village.
If you plan to participate please email us ahead of time to let us know, so that we can contact you in the event of any last-minute changes.
Why there? Buttertubs is a lovely, accessible bird and wildlife sanctuary, encircled by an easy 2-km trail. The field trip will provide an opportunity to connect face-to-face with other club photographers, and the destination is perfect for honing your skills in nature photography: nesting birds, waterfowl, and the marsh habitat.
Timing & travel: We plan to catch the 1:30pm ferry off Gabriola. For seniors, it’s a ride-free day on the ferry, and if desired we can arrange car pooling to reduce the number of vehicles going over. After two hours at the Park (approximately 2 to 4 pm), we’ll return to the Nanaimo ferry terminal to catch the 4:35pm or 5:05pm ferry back to Gabriola.
What to bring: You might want to bring along a folding stool or light-weight lawn chair, water bottle, thermos of tea/coffee, and perhaps a snack. In addition, we recommend that you wear layered clothing, walking shoes or boots, and a light all-weather jacket in case of rain.
