I can’t believe that all of sudden fall is done and winter is here.
And there are nearly no reds left in the environment, at least not natural ones.
I am off to the Yukon for a few days. Now you might wonder why would anyone leave the mild damp of the coast for the dark cold winter north of 60. In my case, there is a good reason – to take part in the launch of a book that I co-edited and otherwise contributed to. The book is about the Kwädąy Dän Ts’ìnchį project which concerned the recovery and study of a young indigenous man whose body and belongings were found frozen in a glacier in the Tatshenshini-Alsek Park in 1999.
If you click on the picture above it will take you to the book website where you can learn a bit more and order a copy too or find out enough to convince your library to get a copy. CAN$50 for 704 pages is an awfully good deal.
There are about 3 parking spots next to this sign, and the beach down below is a spot that young people like to party late into the night.
Hence the fire prohibition and highly unusual parking restrictions.
I have no explanation for the rubbish, it too is highly unusual in this neighbourhood.

This is looking at right angles to my shot of a front from a few days ago, towards the in coming weather. (more…)
Darkwater Lake on Quadra Island from last summer.
This is one of the higher altitude areas we surveyed for archaeological sites, but without luck.
