Golden view
After several cloudy, frosty, and wet days the sunshine breaking through is a welcome sight. After walking the beach for awhile, trying to go as far as possible just balancing on logs, the cold starts to bite but after returning to the shelter of the rover the sunny view outside almost looks warm in the…

Frosty morning
The night air from the forest has crystallized into delicate ice sculptures on every surface. The sun breaks low through the trees and helps take the edge off as the morning unfolds. On a cold frosty day this old machine is quite happy to have a block heater–a couple of hours plugged in and she…

Barn find
Remnants of the past? Building blocks of the future? Fragments of both can be seen throughout the flow of time and the threads can be picked up and woven in the most unexpected places. The tapestry may not always progress in the expected direction and at the desired speed, but the project is always carried…

Perspective
Light and shadow, crest and trough, sea and sky. Counterpoints which become more apparent by juxtaposition. Some outtakes from recent stops at the seaside. The brewing sky and rolling sea provided some lovely seascapes for experiments in editing to emulate various types of vintage film and processing.

Sushi & surf
It was so windy that the local windsurfers were out on their lunch break tackling the breakers rolling in. A lovely view, a takeout meal from Sam’s Sushi, and the rover providing a sheltered place to enjoy it all. Gratitude for the small moments and opportunities to connect with those around us.

Dining in, looking ahead
A cool breezy meal by the seaside is relatively cozy when sitting up front on the “elephant hide” couch and looking out through the windscreen at the view. The brewing sky, rolling sea, and birds on the wind provided some pensive seascapes for dining while reflecting on those gone before and the hope of the…

Field trip
A quick detour through the forest and field one clear evening. The mist hovering above the slushy snow as the cool air descends. A few quick moments to catch the mist and the warm glow of the headlights as the world grows strangely dim. Photos courtesy of Alexander Stickel.

Snow at the beach
Snow and seaside together is a relatively rare view in these parts, a lovely combination. The long winter shadows of the trees couldn’t keep the afternoon sun off the water as the waves roared in. Quite relaxing listening to the sound and enjoying the light for a while before tackling the snowy hills up to…

Sunshine, snow, & fresh tracks
In these parts, snowy days are often grey and overcast, the default setting for most of the winter. When the sky clears and the sun breaks through the snow takes on a whole new look. There may also have been some towing of snowskates behind the rover, though only rumors and legends remain from the…

Snowy forest scenes
The contrast of the snow with the dark evergreen boughs and the reddish cedar bark is a unique feature of winter in the north. Even though the snow has stopped and the sky is turning blue the snow from the branches continues to fall in clumps under the forest canopy. The sound is muted and…

First snow
A couple of weeks of relatively cold weather, some frost, and then the snow began. One morning it had arrived, the world had silently changed overnight. Everything suddenly looked different, felt different, and even sounded different. Snow is often short-lived in this area so we enjoy it while it lasts.

Forest and field

Find out more about the project, the young craftsman, and check availability to support his work. “Each journal is carefully handcrafted from three materials: paper, leather, and sinew. The paper is given an organic patina by staining…

Vanishing like a mist
A lovely late autumn scene just after golden hour. As the light fades a mist rises from the ground, and within a few moments it fades away, carried by the currents of air. The dark forest forms a gateway, opening to a new adventure slowly being revealed as details become clearer.

Dark forest at evening
A moment just as the last of the light was leaving the sky and the forest was turning to black. An opening in the forest allowed just enough light for some photos. The bright orange needles stand out against the deep green trees and beyond the first few trees everything fades to black.

Stormy seaside views
What a difference a day can make! In contrast to the sunny but cold seaside adventure this day was much warmer but the seas and sky more brooding. Two stops and a walk around the point to explore the beach and stand in awe of the waves rolling in over sand and rock.
