Toward the end of January, I revisited Little Qualicum Falls and was staggered to see the extent of damage in the park caused by the fierce storm that had recently hit the island (Vancouver). Reports indicated it was the worst storm in the region for some decades with gale force winds uprooting trees and generally wreaking havoc across not only the island but also on mainland southern British Columbia.
Power outages were widespread and in some cases lasting several days.
Below you can see the tree had to be sawn and moved because it fell across the walking trail through the park.

This must have been an interesting trip. You came to visit BC during some of its roughest winter weather and got wonderful shots. I do like how the sunlight streams light onto the falls revealing the mist.
the power of a storm is amazing. What a lovely waterfall and place to explore. Thank you for sharing. I'm visiting you from Our World Tuesday.
We can get some really nasty winds in the late fall and winter. They seem to be getting worse each year. We've been lucky at our Powell Lake float cabin in our mostly protected bay. - Margy
Beautiful shots of the sunrays. Shame about the storm, but Nature has a way of bouncing back.
Impressive and wonderful fotos !
I like all of them.
