Tuesday July 8th, 2014 arrived in Haida Gwaii
After three flights the group has arrived in Haida Gwaii, which was previously called Queen Charlotte Islands. We arrived to a beautiful afternoon and had just enough time to do a quick look around the area near our hotel. We will be spending our week photographing various locations around the islands with the help from our local guide Dick Bellis. Dick is a Haida native and has spent his entire life on the islands.
After dinner we explored a little of the coastline and had a few bald eagle sightings. It has been a long day so we all have tucked in early this evening. Tomorrow we will be visiting Old Masset which is located at the tip of the islands.
Here are a few images from our travel day. Good night from all the photographers on Haida Gwaii Islands, British Columbia.

Haida Gwaii is located 732 kms from Vancouver, some of the islands along the coast.
