Traces

The strong clear light of winter

I stopped beside Safeway. Never notices that before.

It was the light and the snow together on far mountain.

What is causing that ‘V’? presumably the underlying rock is different

Or at least ‘lower’ than surroundings

Traces in Time

This is the small island in Metlakatla Pass (Garden Isl?) as seen from the air.

I am told those are traces left by Tsimshian canoes that were hauled up here for protection –75 plus years ago

The snow gives the hillsides more texture – we quickly note the slides	A trace from WW2
	Isn’t that called a thousand stairs? The snow track reminds us of its presence

The sun / snow brings out different features	And across the harbour
	The mountain is often referred to as an old volcano Again the white strip from peak looks to be a different kind of rock
