"Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea
Then watch the ripples that unfold into me
My face spill so gently into your eyes
Disturbing the waters of our lives
Shreads of our memories are lying on your grass
Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past
Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields
Letters of your memories are not real
Well, sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat
In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope
The daybreak is your midnight, the colours have all died
Disturbing the waters of our lives,
Of our lives, lives, lives"

Spirit Island is the iconic Canadian Rocky Mountains landmark on Maligne Lake.
It is located at the far end of the lake and the only way to get there is by charter boat or private non-motorized vessel.
It is definitely worth the trip, as the scenery really is magnificent.
The only problem is that they allow you only about 10 minutes on the island for taking pictures, so there is not a lot of scouting for good locations, so a lot of pictures are all similar to each other.
Beautiful, none-the-less.

According to the myth, the island took its name from a nymph, daughter of the river god Asopos, whom Zeus fell in love with and took with him to the island!

View of Union Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 3 stop ND filter.
There are significant weight restrictions for flying into Union Island and I don't have a compact travel tripod so I did the whole trip with just a 13" table top tripod. It worked better than I expected and forced me to work from a new, lower point of view.
