A Breathtaking Sunset at the Sunset Point Park, Collingwood!

Sunset Point Park, Collingwood, Ontario, Canada



One of our most favourite activities on our itineraries while we are on holiday is watching a beautiful sunset.

















This time we stumbled upon a park in Collingwood called Sunset Point Park.

We were here a couple of days ago during daytime. But we liked it so much that we went back at dusk to view the sunset. We were not disappointed!

As soon as we got off our vehicle, we heard back pipe music playing in the park. A free concert was going on here, we thought.

We were going to be serenaded while watching a beautiful sun going down.

How lucky could we be!

  It turned out that a group of pipers were rehearsing their performance and we got to hear their music first. 

We have been to many parts of the world and watched the sun going down on the summit of Mt Fuji, on the islands of Hawaii, on a resort beach in Fiji, in Sydney, Australia, Venice, Florence and the country side of Tuscany and from the top of the ancient temple of Angkor Wat, Cambodia.





Inukshuk - a Symbol of the Native People of Canada, Sunset Point Park, Collingwood, Ontario 

The sunset at the Sunset Point Park in Collingwood was breathtaking!
Standing beside the Inukshuk ( a stone symbol of the native people of Canada) we were dwarfed.

"Inukshuk means:
 "in the likeness of a human" in the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit for communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is "Someone was here" or "You are on the right path."  from Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre Wedsite




With the brilliant sun slowly going down to the horizon and the huge stone Inushuk dominating the Georgian Bay shoreline, the sunset was spectacular!  It was a photographer's dream!

It was magical when one could share a beautiful moment with a loved one!


Most important of all, I was with my loved ones who were there to share this magical moment with me!

This made it all the more special!
