Kitmat BC’s official motto is “A Marvel of Nature and Industry.”   Even so I don’t get much of a chance to take a photograph that illustrates that idea.  September 9 did give me an opporunity.  A beautiful early fall night.   I first stepped out, the rising  31.1% waxing ccrescent moon  was over Douglas Channel,  along with  a flight of birds at 7:45 pm.
