@Texan_Reverend I will go ahead & make an early prediction that this newer #covid variant will hit #Nanaimo area on Vancouver Island the hardest - in this area of the world. That city & surrounding nearby communities is full of anti science Conservatives, antivaxxers, antimaskers & lately, it's had the most infections on the whole island, according to recent wastewater data. Nanaimo is also a port city & it has a lot of international Asian students & many new Asian entrepreneurs who fly there often.
It will hit #Comox area too for similar reasons(except it doesn't have high Asian population or as many Asian tourists/business people) as Nanaimo. Then #VictoriaBC will see a lot of cases from majority of folks not masking anymore.

A1: I am visiting a foreign (to me) portion of #VancouverIsland - #Courtenay and #Comox. It is currently over-run with tourists like myself, and I am SO SORRY!

Coastal British Columbia is definitely feeling like each dry season (a.k.a. 'summer') there are more bicyclists. We have an ever-growing number of 'sport' events and destinations, and as ebikes make steady inroads on commuting and as business services there is a steadily rising visibility.

& more are going all year 'round.

The photograph shows a book titled "WAR/PEACE" resting on the dark, padded seat of a chair. The book's cover features an image of a vase shaped like a hand grenade, overflowing with colorful flowers. The words on the book discuss topics related to social issues and conflict. The chair is situated in what appears to be a medical or therapy office, suggested by the presence of medical equipment, cabinets, and anatomical posters in the background. Miscellaneous objects and equipment occupy the counters around the chair.

Trumpeter swans on the lookout in K'ómoks estuary.

I used a telephoto lens and kept a respectful distance from them. I always do with wildlife. This is not about me getting the shot, this is about respecting wildlife. In this particular case, they spend the winter here so they need to eat and rest before they move on to their next destination.

A group of four trumpeter swans looking to their left. There are a few swans in the background that are asleep with their heads tucked under their wings. The white ones are adults, the ones with a light grey plumage are juveniles. The estuary is muddy because it was at low tide.

The only #ruins left at #abandoned No.8 coal mine in #Cumberland. There used to be a huge building here but it was demolished in the 90s. Before it was torn down, it was a popular party place for local #ComoxValley teenagers. All the old mine shafts have been blocked off for public safety. There is still a large abandoned building that was part of this former large coal mine site but it's really deep into the forest & you need to bushwhack your way there. We had very limited time on this past road trip so I stuck to showing my friends the 2 easiest accesses to cool #AbandonedPlaces.

Eight mines used to operate at Comox, named No. 1 Mine through to No. 8 Mine. The workings consisted of boreholes, air shafts, mine entries, & underground network of tunnels. A rail network was also developed to link the ore piles with the town & Union Bay. Old rail bed remain in place today as public trails. A series of survey monuments also remains on the surface today. These have been tracked down, beginning with a concrete monument located slightly below ground in the vicinity of Cumberland Park & recorded to match the maps of the underground workings with the surface-level features today.

The mines at #Comox were technically advanced for their time, with partial mechanization & electrification well before 1900. The first documented use of electricity underground was in the No. 4 Mine in 1891, when four electrically-driven coal-cutters were installed.

Canadian Collieries (owned by #Dunsmuir family) Ltd. operated coal mines on Vancouver Island, including the Wellington Mines near Nanaimo & Comox Mines at Cumberland. Comox Mines had earlier been operated by Union #Colliery Company, the first of the mines being opened in 1888. The last of the Comox Mines, the No.8 Mine, was closed in 1953.
