Before heading out to our artist FCA gathering at Bamfield, I had one more day to explore Ucluelet. The Wild Pacific Trail near my stay place was fabulous, with easy trails and lovely bench/viewpoints. I did not feel the need to stray very far for painting locations.

I had previously seen the lighthouse on a late afternoon, and it was pretty busy with visitors. I headed down to check it out really early in this morning sun, and managed to get this large one almost finished before the distant fog rolled in.

Still an active light, the original Amphitrite Point lighthouse was a wooden structure built in 1906, but destroyed by storm waves, it was replaced and lit in 1915. Not as dramatic as many tall, more recent lighthouses, it sits squarely among the jagged rocks of this bluff.

Tucked into a corner of the trail viewpoint - it really was a popular spot ... but I actually enjoyed chatting with the many visitors from around the globe while I painted - here on the edge of the Wild Pacific.
Open sea...next stop Japan.
