Where in the World?

Bamfield is one of those interesting places where half of it is inaccessible to regular road traffic. We have a water taxi (2 this year) & it's almost like 2 separate communities - East vs West. Both sides have little grocery stores & both sides have a firehall with a fire truck. There are people who live on the East side (the one that is hooked up to the logging road) that have either never been to the west side, or haven't been over for many, many years (they don't own a boat, or else couldn't be bothered). But, there are people on the West side who never go over to the East side either - other than to get out of town - but taking the road isn't always necessary either. The Lady Rose - a passenger & freight ferry, comes into Bamfield 3 times a week in the winter & 4 days a week in the summer, bringing in people for a visit or food items or, in our case, building supplies.

Our property is on the West side & as said before, the view is south-east down the mouth of the harbour. It's situated mid-slope on the hill (of which, there are many hills around - if you aren't going up, you are going down).
The photo above is from the down in the harbour looking back to where we will be building. (so we are now looking north-west). On the boardwalk (right on the water's edge) you see a house with a grren roof, then mid-slope there is another house with a green roof (just right of the center). Move left along that mid-slope level & there is a small white speck - that's the junky trailer sitting on the spot where the house will be.
This is a zoom of the photo so you can see that trailer a bit more clearly. There is a road running in front of the property - right behind that funny little wooden structure just to the right of the trailer. The structures up the hill to the left of the trailer is our neighbour - Roy - an interesting character to say the least. Further back up the hill is a new house being put up by Carol & Mario. A rather big project for just 2 people to do on their own (yes, they have no help, plus Mario is missing most of his fingers having lost them to frost during a mountain climbing accident years ago).

My list of photo updates is growing by the day. This is a spring time photo & trees have been removed or blown down by the winter storms.

As you can see, we will have a very sunny spot. I would like to name our place - but haven't come across anything that seems fitting. Maybe I should hold a contest for names & come up with a good prize for the winner!!
