The drive across Vancouver Island on our way back to the ferry was exceedingly pretty.  The temperature in the passes was pretty low and what I imagine happens is that the mist freezes on to the trees.  The result was these beautiful white trees looking like they had been created as some Christmas decoration.  We were on a main road so no chance to stop and photograph them but, as we got down to Port Alberni, the mist was still around.

As we crossed the river, we got a view along the water between the trees with the mist hanging over the surface.  It looked really beautiful.  I stopped further along the road where I found a gap in the trees and could get down to the bank.  Once out of the car, I figured that the cold temperatures could be handled for a short while and walked back to the bridge.  We had a ferry to catch so I wasn’t going to spend too long exploring but this might prove to be a very photogenic place to explore if you had the time.
