The view from Trapline Mountain

GPS route to Trapline Mountain (Google Earth)

On Monday August 5, friends invited me along for a trip to Trapline Mountain to photograph the alpine. Trapline Mountain is about 30 kilometres east of Terrace, BC. You get to the mountain first by driving along the road that follows the Copper River and then taking a rough access road to the peak. At the peak is a BC Hydro microwave communications tower. The area is popular with photographers, ATV enthusiasts and the occasional campers in the summer and snowmobilers in the winter.

Black and white images

I have converted most of the images to black and white. Depending on the image I either used Photoshop or SilverEfx.

The peak of Trapline Mountain is absolutely beautiful. So I have included some colour images.

Remembrance Day, Kitimat, November 11, 2014

In Kitimat, as happened across the country on November 11. 2014, there was a larger turnout than usual at the Remembrance Day service, as people reflected on the recent events, the deaths of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, as well as the fact that Canadian Forces are in action against the Islamic State in Iraq.

Geese

As in previous years, the fly past over the cenotaph came from the wild, migrating geese.

A new tradition…

poppyonpoppy

For the past several years, there’s been a tradition that began at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa, people leave their poppies at the cenotaph. Here in Kitimat, people are now pinning their poppies to the wreathes that were laid at the cenotaph a few minutes earlier. (Robin Rowland)
