Ferry in the Strait of Georgia stock photo
{"Image ImageDescription": "The Canadian Gulf Islands are part of a rocky archipelago in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia. The larger archipelago includes the San Juan Islands in the United States. The Gulf Islands are perhaps best known for their natural beauty, farms, wineries, rural lifestyle and Mediterranean climate. Activities to be enjoyed in the Gulf Islands includes boating, kayaking, hiking, camping and wildlife viewing. This area was charted by British explorer George Vancouver during his 1791-1795 expedition. The name ?Gulf Islands? comes from ?Gulf of Georgia,? the original name used by Vancouver on his maps. This scene of a ferry boat in the Strait of Georgia was photographed from Ruckle Provincial Park on Saltspring Island, British Columbia, Canada.", "Image Copyright": "Jeff Goulden"}
