Mt Washington Range. You will find it on the eastern side of the mountain range on Vancouver Island. I am lucky enough to find it outside my front door. Practically. These were all taken from our front hill at 500 mm. On a really, really good day for mountains and mist.A perfect day.
"Mountains holy as Sinai. No mountains I know of are so alluring.None so hospitable, kindly, tenderly inspiring.It seems strange that everyone does not come at their call.They are given , like the Gospel, without money and without price.'Tis heaven alone that is given away." (John Muir from "John of the Mountains", 1938)
"Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous." (Thomas Mann 1875-1955)
"The cure for all the illness of life is stored in the inner depth of life itself, the access to which becomes possible when we are alone. This solitude is a world in itself, full of wonders and resources unthought of. It is absurdly near: yet so unapproachably distant." (Rabindranath Tagore 1861-1941)
Today the mountains were perfect. Steeped in snow.
If you drive to Courtenay, about 40 minutes south of Campbell River,
you will find the road leading to the mountain.
"The morning sun, the new sweet earth and the Great Silence." (T.C. McLuhan)
A perfect day
