The pier - (Published by GETTY IMAGES) & (On long term display at the Sidney Museum and Archives in Sidney, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia)

            
I was originally contacted by Peter Garnham from the Sidney Museum and Archives on January 31st 2014, who requested permission to use this photograph in a forthcoming Natural History exibit. 

The museum is located at the old Post office at 2423 Beacon Ave L-3, Sidney, BC V8L 1X5 on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It's a non-profit community organization which is dedicated to the history of Sidney and North Saanich. Run by the Society of Saanich Peninsula Museums, the museum promotes awareness of local heritage through exhibits, programs, and collections.

Until recently I had not taken the time to nip in and view it as part of the long term exhibition there, but here is my photograph in situ taken in June 2023, nine years into it's run as a main exhibit, which is very pleasing. It's a location that is very close to my heart as our family have lived in and around Sidney for almost three decades now and so many hours I have spent here around sunrise and sunset taking photographs with Mother Nature as my company. It's also the place that first got me noticed by my agents Getty Images, who signed me after headhunting several shots from here.
