#SilentSunday 2023.
I loved waking up to snow falling outside & the ocean tide rolling out, while sipping hot tea in the cozy cabin.

February 2023. My #Winter #snow belated birthday #getaway.

Located on #Kwakiutl #FirstNation territory, #Cluxewe Resort is #Indigenous owned and operated. It's just outside of #PortMcNeill town centre. I love it there. I want to return.

A tall, carved wooden Coast Salish totem pole with a human-like figure in front of a snow-covered building and sign that reads "Dtaksiwe'," standing amongst snow-covered trees and ground. The totem is painted in shades of brown, red, black, and white, with prominent facial features. Snow falls lightly.

I first went to this old timber mill ruins in #Merville in the early 90s - years before it was included as part of the present #HeadquartersTownsite Park. It's one of the easiest accessible #AbandonedPlaces you can visit in the #ComoxValley on #VancouverIsland. I've done many past photoshoots with models here & assisted in shooting some music videos & short films here many years ago.
Some folks built skateboard ramps & rail jumps inside the unroofed building ruins in the late 90s.

The mill was built between 1912-1913 for the Canadian Western Logging Company. There was an entire small mill town at this location with post office, schools, medical clinic & more. The Headquarters townsite survived until the late 1950’s when the school & houses were sold for $1 each with the proviso that they be moved off company property. #Ruins of the mill can be seen at Headquarters Townsite Park. The park is stewarded by local community citizens.

The old concrete building at the entrance to Headquarters Townsite Park from Farnham Road was built as a rough timber mill in 1912-1913. Despite being fully equipped, the mill was never used for reasons that remain unclear. Some say the mill was only built so that the company could gain certain concessions from the BC government. The recession of 1913 may have led the company to abandon it. Parts from the mill were later used to build a new mill in Courtenay.

A dilapidated building with stone walls partially obscured by vibrant graffiti artwork. Its flat roof is lined with moss, and multiple empty windows are apparent. Surrounding the structure are bare trees without leaves and scattered underbrush, creating a wild, overgrown environment. The ground is covered in brown leaves, and a dirt path leads towards the building. The overall lighting is dim, suggesting a cloudy atmosphere.An interior view of a ruined building constructed from dark concrete, with the walls adorned in vibrant graffiti art. Vertical and horizontal lines from the walls create a geometric framework. The floor is muddy and littered with branches, enhancing the abandoned feel. Tall, leafless trees frame the scene, while a gray sky looms overhead, providing soft, diffused lighting that contributes to the melancholic mood. The graffiti varies in color and style, adding splashes of brightness to the otherwise somber environment.A large, rectangular concrete structure, featuring elaborate graffiti art, including abstract shapes and colorful designs, on its exterior wall. The building is partially shaded by surrounding trees, which have a mix of moss-covered trunks and bare branches.
