Finn Slough Richmond, B.C - Ghost of another time Guestbook   Dec 3, 2017

Placed at the end of No. 3 road in Richmond, B.C a small fishing community still resides. Founded in 1880 by settlers from Finland, it has served over the years as a home for fishermen and their family. In January, my family and I were walking our dog in Richmond and stumbled upon Finn Slough. With the contrast between the rebuilt wooden houses with tin roofs and the old ones twisted due to decay and their white paint cracking, the picture almost takes you back to another time. I am especially fond of the beached boat resting on its side. Between the houses it almost seems out of place. With cool kick-knacks scattered throughout the boardwalk, everyone can enjoy the quirky, quiet town of Finn Slough.
