Views from Mt. Prevost – Cowichan Valley
By Kevin on Oct 01, 2009 with Comments 20
I try to do photography from the peak of Mt. Prevost in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island a few times a year. The view is spectacular with the town of Duncan and Cowichan Bay below and Salt Spring Island and the other Southern Gulf Islands in the distance. On clear days the mainland mountains in British Columbia and Washington State are visible.
September tends to bring fog in the early morning making for interesting photography as the lighting is truly beautiful. Evenings are often clear with gorgeous sunset colours. Before you ask; you can drive almost all the way to the summit so if you are in the area there is really no excuse not to visit.

the first photo is enchanting, the last photo is simply fantastic.
Since I live in the desert and don’t know much about fog, I’m surprised to see all those colors through it in the middle picture. It’s like a thin veil, just beautiful!
Thanks for all the comments. Fog is certainly beautiful as long as it’s not too thick. I find the best time to photograph is when the fog is slowly burning off. The light changes very quickly!
