another day, another seaplane centre.....
out tour took us on from Victoria (Vancouver Island) to the amazing city of Vancouver for the last 3 days before our flight home. The first two days were wet in the extreme but the weather cleared on the final day so we explored the waterfront during the morning before setting off for the airport mid afternoon. The seaplane terminal / port / dock whatever the correct term is, is located right on the centre of the city waterfront and the two elevated footways at different levels give excellent views of the piers and the aircraft movements. Here's a selection.......

Wonderful shots Andy, sorry but have only just seen this thread and need a cold shower after looking at them - especially after seeing all those gorgeous Beavers.
They're seaplanes, Ewan.
