The RCMP have several boats here in Tofino. This type of boat is called a RIB,Ridged Inflatable Boat.The boat I use is also a RIB,just much smaller!
This boat is called the “Eagle”.It’s the boat used to by the RCMP for two native villages,Ahousaht & Opitsat.
It was coming to the dock in Tofino at sunset.

The reflection on the water is beautiful, Wayne.
It was,thank you Robbie.
The sun disappeared just a few minutes later.
What a beautiful place to be!
Tofino is magical Noelle!
Nice picture. Maybe the RCMP would like to have a print to hang in their lobby?
funny you mention that Marilyn? The RC’s are building their new detachment in Tofino! Maybe they would be interested in buying a few prints? Thanks for reminding me!
Very pretty reflection on the water Wayne – it lights the way for the boat. I never thought of the RCMP having patrol boats before. I guess I only remember them in their uniforms, high boots and brimmed hats riding horseback.
Thats their parade colours.Their scarlet colours.
I see – I saw the mounted police in their colors before – don’t remember where. They looked very regal. Maybe it was a parade or in downtown Toronto. I took a friend over to Toronto for a week and we stayed at my grandmother’s house. We walked all over the City, went to the Ex and some concerts at the Ex, saw all the tourist places because when we went to Toronto, we mostly visited my grandmother and didn’t venture out. One time we went to Toronto in November for my grandmother’s birthday and it was Royal Winter Fair time so I went there – all those beautiful draft horses pulling their wagons, and the jumpers – very nice!
The best show is on Canada day (July 1) at the parliament buildings in Ottawa.
I like when the Mounties are in their full RCMP regalia … it is festive and military-like. We have no equivalent here.
they are striking & when you add the horses,even more so!
Oh yes – the scarlet uniforms and then the horses which are synchronized … just beautiful. I miss the pomp and circumstance of watching an event like they would have for Canada Day.
“Pomp & Circumstance”………I’ve often wondered what parts are Pomp & what parts are Circumstance?………..& exactly what is circumstance?
I don’t get the “circumstance” part but I always associated the “pomp” part with a pompous occasion … a lot of high-falutin’ (now there’s a word you never hear anymore) nonsense.
Great shot, Wayne! I like Marilyn’s idea about your photos being on display in the new RCMP fortress being built there – they should have prints from local photographers – better than mug shots…
yes,I’ll have to contact them & find out who I talk to about this.
I’m thinking of my “Winter’s Morning” panoramic.A large version,maybe 2 feet by 8 feet!
Just found it – why not, lovely shot?! Also many other great winter choices in your archives…
just sent off a letter introducing myself with a link to their category & a shot of Winter’s Morning.Will let you know?
Hope they get back to you with a positive response!
Beautiful sunset and amazing reflection on the water! Thank you!
your welcome!
Slightly less smoke?
no smoke anymore.
Great!
