Loved the shots of Ocean Falls. I'm an (Van) Islander stuck in yucky Ottawa for the last 8 years (3 to go until retirement) so it's always good to see photos of the coast.

Enjoyed your pics very much. Lived in Ocean Falls and we used to use a cottage in Wallace Bay and can't get over the destruction and mess that has been left at Jenny Bay. Many fond memories of boating weekends there & back and how beautiful and natural everything was.

Loved these photos of Ocean Falls. I lived there in the mid-fifties when my stepfather was a forest ranger there. Town was in full swing then (as far as I recall). --from Virginia, USA 3/2011

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos. I feel like I could step in the picture, taste the salt on my lips and feel the wind whip my hair around my face. The wetness of the rain soaked wind is almost tangeable when I look at this. Bless you!

John, I just wanted to thank you for these great photographs. So many fond memories were rekindled in viewing Hatley Castle and the grounds. I grew up as an army brat playing and fishing here. My brother once fell into this pond while on a fishing escapade! He was attempting to place worm on my hook when I moved my rod making him jump just a little too far backward. Now that I am thinking about it, I do not recall if we were actually allowed to be fishing there. Anyhow, beautiful photos. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Steve Norman.

Great to see your interest in the Church, a national historic site. Some restoration work was done with a new foundation in 2009; a documentary Saving Places, filmed by PTV Productions for the History Channel is available. Please visit our website for more details and update on the Church conservation efforts. Anything that you can do to help, to spread the word, etc. - we really need and appreciate donations of any size, from anyone interesting in preserving this unique spiritual place.

The Arctic Lupine are such beautiful plants, but can be very poisonous. They were used in hay for animals such as goats, and if the plant was poisonous this would cause deformation of the production of the young. Thus, way back this plant was used as a cure for women, which could also cause deformation in the baby when in birth, if the plant was poisonous. I find this information fascinating !!!!!!

Really, really wet spots. This one was growing where a stream went over a rock outcropping just by the sea shore. I've also seen this flower growing in alpine creeks. This plant seems to be almost an aquatic.

Excuse my english, i speak french, from Québec. You took a excellent sample of pictures of marine life at low tide. I'm fascinated by the botanical beach of Pacific, because i live at the east of Canada, just 4000 Km eastern... Your pictures are dated of 2003. Now with the numeric photographs, you can take some hundreds of that. Me, i did the same work in eastern Québec (Gaspésie), and on the coast of Maine in many state parks. I took a very big lot of pictures of Atlantic botanical beach, closer pictures. If you live near the Pacific coast, i wish to exchange more numeric pictures between Atlantic and Pacific. It's like two different worlds of marine life, and i search the common and different species for both oceans. If you are interrested to exchange photographs, you have my address. Have a good day !

I lived and worked in Ocean falls for almost 4 years in the early 70's. In both the Machine Room which is where the actual paper making operation was, and in the Yard Auto Pool, driving various pieces of machinery and Dump Trucks. I was also on the townsite and industrial Fire Dept's. My son was conceived here. I owned a house in Martin Valley.

I lived in Ocean Falls from 1957-61 where I started grade 1. It was my father's first posting as a Forest Ranger. On Halloween the whole town lined up along the boardwalk to watch fireworks off the tugboats. We walked up to the dam above town, to picnic and swim below the floodgates, terrified it would open any minute. We lived in the first floor of the Maple Apartments near the big hotel which caught fire, and beside Mr. Mawn's, the Pawnbroker.

Your girl in thr photo? daughter,wife,or girlfriend? whoever she is,she looks to be a nice lass. She should not ever forget to visit these places often. They wont be here one of these days if people treat the world as they have been doing. Bye Bye...E.
