Vancouver Island

Vancouver Island: The Art of the Landscape is a visual journey and celebration of this beautiful island and its adjacent Gulf Islands, as seen by nature and wildlife photographer Dave Hutchison. A twenty-year photographic journey, it is also a collaboration of two nature lovers, husband and wife, who together shared a vision: to create a pictorial fine art book, filled with beautiful scenic images, which both preserves and honours the landscape in time. The narrative is woven through Dave's personal experiences, as he shares the stories behind his photos, offers tips on his favourite locations, and delves into the islands' fascinating history. The book is organized into seven geographical regions for easy reference: Victoria, Sidney & The Saanich Peninsula; Cowichan & Carmanah Valleys, Nanaimo & Parksville; The Southern Gulf Islands; Sooke to Port Renfrew West Coast Corridor; Tofino, Ucluelet, Bamfield & Area; Comox Valley, Campbell River & Area; Northern Vancouver Island & Area. Featuring more than 150 full colour images capturing the islands' diverse landscapes, flora, fauna, cityscapes and wildlife, this book invites readers to immerse themselves in its beauty.
