Dark Art IV
Another photo from a limestone cave on Quadra Island from this past summer’s fieldwork.
I would not want to be around when this fell off the roof.

Photographers really should walk. You will see the most unlikely things.
This is on Haida Gwaii, where as it happens, I am flying to, again, this morning.
I was walking back to the motel from breakfast and was pretty happy to find this little scene.
I wonder what those pixelated lines are running vertically through the image.
They are on the original file – the camera’s jpeg producing algorithms must have been having a bad day.
Dark Art II
Another photo from a limestone cave on Quadra Island from this past summer’s fieldwork.
I left the LED colouration as there was a natural bluish colour in the cave and this just enhances the natural colour.
And makes it more abstract.
Water Colour Wash
Another sandscape with flowing sand grains on a Wells Cove beach which is on the west shore of Gwaii Haanas, Haida Gwaii.
Reminds me of a water colour painting.
See my earlier post Sandscape for more about this visit.
I am in off to Portland for a few days and thus likely will be slow to monitor comments and other activity around the blog.
But I will be really happy to read your comments when I get back.
Dark Art
One place that we look for very old archaeological sites is in limestone caves which are often used as bear dens (read: good for hunting), have excellent preservation of bone due to the alkaline environment and often are quite undisturbed.
This is one such cave on Quadra Island from this summer’s work. Nature expresses her art in all places, including the dark.
Illumination from a small hand-held bluish coloured LED light.
The PowerShot D30 performed remarkably well in these circumstances, though a bit of editing was necessary of most images to reduce the contrast between nearly blown out areas and the dark edges and to correct the LED colour, when I chose to, such as in this image.
