New Year’s Day at Minette Bay

Photos from the annual local photographers’ walk around Minette Bay. The deepest cold passed, leaving ice everywhere. There was a heavy overcast and occasional fog.

Calm between storms, slack tide in Kitimat harbour

Kitimat harbour is shrouded in fog, October 9, 2015, at slack tide after what was left of Tropical Storm Oho had passed and before a new storm blew in, October 9, 2015. (Robin Rowland)

The Hawaiian hurricanes that follow the path of the “Pineapple Express” across the northern Pacific normally dwindle to rain storms by the time they reach the Kitimat Valley. On October 9, 2015, however, what was left of Hurricane Oho was still at tropical storm strength.

I was assigned by Global BC to get storm and rain pictures.  There was still heavy rain when I shot my first video at the Kitimat viewpoint.

I then drove down to Hospital Beach, expecting to get some good shots of waves pounding against the shore.  To my surprise, I saw Kitimat harbour as I have never seen it.  It was slack tide, the water was dead calm and the fog shrouded the entire harbour.  Looking over to Rio Tinto BC Operations Terminal B (the old Eurocan dock) (Robin Rowland)

When I was back at my computer, filing the video to Vancouver, the rain from the second storm moving in began to pound down outside my window.
