Today’s subject is macro views of a Haida copper bracelet carved by Tom Greene Jr. of Skidegate (see this link for his website). Tommy, Laura and some of her family came by to visit yesterday, bringing this bracelet. We had ordered it when we dropped by to see them on our summer trip to Haida Gwaii (formerly Queen Charlotte Islands). It is so nice to have one of his works of art – I have known Tommy for decades and seen his mastery grow during that time. Buying one of his pieces was long overdue.
The series that I recently ran on the spiral stairs in Beacon Hill Park started when I spotted this misty corner of the park on my way by in the car and pulled over to see if it would take to a photograph.
Spotted on the bedside table.
A second batch of photos taken at the winter solstice event in Gonzales Bay on Friday night. For more explanation see Gonzales Solstice.
After yesterday’s candle lit beach decorated for the solstice what better way to mark the beginning of longer days than with a sunrise?
Last night the winter solstice was marked in Gonzales Bay with candles set on the beach and into the water. People from the adjacent neighbourhoods just arrive with the materials and get to work lining the beach, pretty much from one end to the other, and in many places along the tide edge as well as higher on the beach. Naturally I went down with camera and tripod to see what could be captured, and was not disappointed. In fact, I was very surprised what my camera could pull out of what to my eyes was a dark scene.
Back briefly to Beacon Hill Park. This fork in the path is a short distance from the top of the stairs that I did a small series on earlier this week.
