Several Canadian naval vessels have been scuttled off Snake Island, British Columbia, as attractions for scuba divers.
Not too many words needed to explain this one. The sunrise of March 28, 2020 was absolutely fantastic ! Captured at Innisfil Beach Park on the shores of Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.
Snake Island is a white sand beach named as such due to its elongated and winding sand bar resembling a snake.
Full moon lights up Port Welshpool and Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park, Victoria, at low tide.

Snake Island is basically a 3 kilometer stretch of fine white sand. The photo shows probably its 2.5 kilometer stretch from the southwest to the northwest. If you think the view from the surface is nice... wait till you see what's under those cool clear water.

It was Karrie who tagged me to post this pic. It took me hours to decide what photo should I upload, I think this is the best I have. =)
I'd also like to give credit to my friend, Maggie Arellano who took this awesome shot while we were in Snake Island, Palawan. Tnx Mags!
El Nido, Palawan, Philippines
Visible only during low tide, this S-shaped sandbar (hence the name “Snake Island) connects Vigan Island to another island in El Nido, Palawan. (There are actually two places named “Snake Island” in Palawan; the other one is located at Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa).

Snake Island
Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa, Palawan
The island was named Snake island because of its natural sandspit (s-shaped) sandbar that “snakes” off for almost a kilometer. You can clearly see the island's shape as the plane approaches the Puerto Princesa airport if you are sitting on the starboard side.
Its also a marine research outpost (and a fish sanctuary). You can feed fishes with bread even at waist deep waters, they are very friendly and are used to humans.
You can see from the colors of the water that its very deep within just a few meters from the shore. We saw a large school of jacks (thousands of them) around this area. The guides in the island will gladly lead you to your "choice" of fish to see: from jacks, to surgeon fish, to "Nemos" (clown fishes) :D.
You won't need serious diving gears. All you'll need are your flippers, your mask, and several pieces of bread. The fishes will come you to, except for the jacks. They just go around and around in a imaginary circle. We had fun "following" them that day.

...and you think all those are the only things a dog does and has? Dogs appreciate spectacular displays of nature too -- literally like this one. Nice beach, unusual sky.
They're very unlike people. People are basically greedy, traitors, bastards, treacherous, liars, yes-men, back stabbers... nothing close to that of the dog. If I could pinpoint all these humans(some others you don't have to pinpoint, they're on tv everyday) and had the finances to wipe them all out of the ecosystem, it will be a pleasure to do so. Take away the human mind's intelligence, and you'd rather live with a dog.

Shot taken near the southwest side of the island. That stretch of beach on the horizon is STILL part of the island. It can be reached by foot from where this shot was taken, but the beach sand bar(literally, much of the island is made up of sandbars) is about 3 kilometers long, going there and back to the dock is a good 1 hour brisk walking on sand perhaps.

This shot was taken, about 30 meters from the shore and about 10 ft deep. I chased these two to get a close snap using a disposable underwater film camera. With only swimming goggles and no flippers, you don't have much time to compose, with just about a minute to hold your breath and use energy to go under, and with the fish moving quickly. This is the only decent and closer shot taken of this -- perfect-for-grill type of fish.

Shot taken from the southwest side of Snake Island. The camera was set on timer mode, I held the strap and let the camera position about knee height. The shot turned out fine.

Kayaking the channels on the Toronto Islands. Left to right: Ward's Island, South Island and Snake Island.
The island refuge, which can only be accessed by ferry and an underwater pedestrian tunnel from downtown Toronto, is the largest urban car-free community in North America.

Got some rest after the fish chase and underwater swim for a few minutes. Took this on prone position at the shoreline -- amidst the small waves and a soft breeze. Its nice to relax and lay down on the sand with these small waves.
