What do you see, Brandon?

Driving up island, we noticed signs up as we passed through Goldstream that the salmon were spawning. This was something I had always been curious about, and we lucked out and happened to pass through at the right time. Every one and their dog were out, and parking was at a premium! There was a festive atmosphere celebrating the salmon run (a little bizarre in a sense) and the seagulls were having a good time as well.

You can make out the salmon fins in the water, and the gulls are there like a monty python episode, poking at the bodies as they fight their way upstream.. I can hear the fishes - "We're not dead yet!! Bugger off!!!!"
