Looking out towards Ganges, the main town on Salt Spring Island
Despite the fact that I didn't leave the island yesterday, I still managed to take a couple of pictures of the views from this spectacular place. Deadman Island has some interesting history behind it. In the 1850s, two indigenous Canadian tribes had a battle on the island, with the winning tribe placing the heads of the dead men on the beach, hence the name, Deadman Island. Quite a gory history for such a tiny island.
The beach that once held the heads of the losing indigenous tribe. Now, it is home to children's swings
