| Bere Point, Malcolm Island, photo by Dan Herlihy |
Although I have been here a month, it has not been particularly sunny, which means I have not taken many pictures. Finally, a week of sun, and I try to download my photos today –– without success. I don't know what this means, but it may mean I need a new camera. In the meantime, I will post photos that I have taken in the last month. Click to enlarge.
The first are from a short visit I made down island to visit my old friend
Frieda Werden from University of Texas Press days. She now lives on
Denman Island.

The following are from Sointula, except for the photo at the top of this post, by local photographer Dan Herlihy. I plan to purchase it, so expect to see it in my apartment this fall.

I see why you love it here. A complete change from New York. I didn't realize it was quite this rustic. I see that your bay is called Rough Bay, and from the first photo, it appears to live up to its name. Are there calm bays nearby where you can swim? All in all, it looks lovely. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe water is pretty cold, around 50 Fahrenheit, too cold for me, but I notice that kids that live around Rough Bay do go in the water. Ah, Canadians! Yesterday I read an essay on silence (by a Canadian, as a matter of fact; it was in the New England review), and I was struck anew at how noisy New York is. During the day, one occasionally hears buzz saws (wood cutting for firewood) and other small construction activity, but the evenings are wonderfully quiet and restful.
