The BIG rock

This rock is famous on Vancouver Island! It's called the "BIG Rock" because it's HUGE!!! The First Nations people in the area have various legends that explain how it came to rest on the beach. I've lived here nearly 20 years and driven by this thing a zillion times but only just went down to the beach to get a photo.

** I've uploaded another shot from the other side that has people in it so you can get a better sense of this 30 foot high rock. It's in my "extra shots" album. I also included a link to a video about the legend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MiNO2qpESE

Would have liked to hear some of the legends about the rock. Great composition!

It seems the rock is inhabited... Nice shot.

Looks like a great spot. It would be good to have a person in there somewhere, because then it would give you an idea as to how huge it is.
