Weekend Trip to 1000 Islands - Boldt Castle (Jun 27)

One of the famous spots in 1000 Islands region of St. Lawrence River is Boldt Castle. Boldt Castle, a monument of love by George C. Boldt for his wife Louise, is located on Heart Island, in the United States, and is only accessible by water. From both Canada and the U.S., visitors may find transportation on either a tour boat or by personal pleasure craft.

Tourists from Canada must be Canadian citizens or have U.S. visa in order to go visit the castle. Therefore, I was blocked from seeing the castle inside. Hope someday I will have a chance to wander through this mysterious castle...

Weekend Trip to 1000 Islands - Boats (Jun 27)

Lots of boats and ships shuttled on the river, which kept our eyes busy. Boaters waved their hands to passengers on tour boats to show their friendliness, and we waved back to them.

Weekend Trip to 1000 Islands - On the Boat (Jun 27)

Photo of the Day:

This picture is the most valuable one that I shot at 1000 Islands. When the boat was cruising on St. Lawrence River, seagulls hovered above the boat. Some tourists throwed corn chips into the air and tried to feed them. These waterfowls are "greedy" in nature, haha. They saw clearly from the sky and then managed to catch every piece of food from generous tourists. They were flying at the amazingly low height at the same pace of the boat. They were so close to us! I think our arms can literally reach them. Everyone was enjoying the moment, laughing and taking pictures. Hope that kind of harmony of human , animal and nature can last forever.
