Stuck

July 15, 2016

Tighter than ITthought
“Huh. I was sure I could squeeze through there.”

(from where I’m standing that rock looks like 3000 tons—give or take a few tons)

Immovable

Immovable
Sitting at the side of a river,
a person watching and listening,
has spent their time well.

Elk Falls

August 12, 2015

This may not look all that scary to you. But it sure was to us. What you don’t see is the deceivingly calm water hole just 20 metres upstream (there’s a sign that says no lifeguard on duty!) And the other thing you don’t see—is a very large waterfall just 10 metres downstream. There have been fatalities here.
This spring a 60 metre suspension bridge—65 metres above the canyon floor was opened to the public. Also new is a viewing platform at edge of the canyon wall. The platform provides an unimpeded view of the falls. Some snapshots below:

A cool oasis during this year’s drought.
