I took quite a few pictures of the sun setting at Camp Buchan, including a few behind the camp buildings there.

Camp Buchan is largely located on second-generation forest, an ecosystem that formed after the land the Scout camp was located on stopped being used for farming. In turn, many of the further outposts of the Camp, especially the cabins located in the camp's interior and the large common areas of grass carved out of the woods, have been following their environment's suit.

Twilight was coming as I took these photos, and I experimented with camera settings a bit here. Opinions on the effects are eagerly solicited.

I remember this very circle from my days as an adolescent. The only substantial change has been the rapid advance of the ocean, unseen, to left.

I've long been involved in Prince Edward Island's Scouting movement, as a Scout in my own right and as the son of a scoutmaster. On my trip last summer to Prince Edward Island, I joined my parents in visiting Camp Buchan, Prince Edward Island's only scout camp.

Located on the Island shore of the Northumberland Strait roughly a half-hour's drive southeast of Charlottetown, Camp Buchan is a beautiful place. This August day I was particularly lucky, since it was low tide. So much more was revealed.
