 | On last week's post about Gonzales Beach I pictured one of the glacial erratics that is on that beach. Here are two more. Both of these are located at Harling Point, which marks one end of Foul Bay (Gonzales Beach). Harling Point is also the site of the Chinese Cemetery and in addition to these glacial erratics is geologically interesting because it lies directly over the intersection of two giant tectonic plates. The erratic pictured above has a name, Harpoon Rock, derived from an old Lekwungen folk tale. A man was hunting seals here when he was visited by "the Transformer" who turned him into this stone. |

That's a great reflection picture. Love the old tales too.
Those erratics are so cool.
It's really something to imagine them riding a long distance on, or in a glacier and being deposited where we find them now.
Stunning reflection!
Both are good shots!
I'm always curious to find glacial erratics in odd places...
