...visions of Mt Currie...


It was a tight shot, but i had to take it.
Who knew when i would have been back, if ever.

Climbing the line i ski has for me become definitive.
Observing each crack in the towering walls,
each Fir clinging on its edges.
 Snow conditions slightly changing,
faint undulations in a seemingly bleached paper flat scene.

Then turning around after a thousand and counting steps,
to see the valley suddenly way down there,
my breath expanded beyond the sum.

Possible first decent on Mt Currie, Pemberton BC.

...pacific North-West humbles...


When the conversation turns to the sea,
the language stays the same.
The platform, the same.
And once again
the eye focuses on the wave ahead,
but what about the rising peak out right?
Its voice just as caressing.
The mountains
The ocean
Much perspective is on offer
Pacific North-West humbles.
