"The key words of violent economics are urbanization, industrialization, centralization, efficiency, quantity, speed." - Ernst Schumacher

A sepia-toned, medium shot shows a dilapidated concrete structure overtaken by graffiti and framed by bare trees under an overcast sky. The building, clearly in ruins with gaping window openings, is covered in extensive graffiti art in various colors but mostly greyscale, obscuring much of its original facade. The surrounding landscape is dominated by leafless trees with their branches reaching upwards, contributing to the somber mood. A dirt path leads toward the building, which sits on a slight rise covered with fallen leaves and sparse vegetation. The overall scene conveys a sense of decay and forgotten history, emphasized by the muted color palette.

Thank you Comox Valley! It was amazing to meet so many of you, really feeling the momentum surge⚡️More pics to come! #comoxvalley #emilyforbcgreens

Monochrome, wide-angle shot of a ruined building. The building has a central gable roof and is open in the front. The walls are skeletal and covered in graffiti. Composition is centered, with the structure dominating the frame and dead trees in the top of the frame. Ground is covered in muddy debris and small branches. The sky is overcast and a dull grey. Graffiti includes text excerpts like "PESTO NEVER MOKA" and "DON'T FORGET".

For #WaterfallWednesday this is a recent photo of Nymphs Falls in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island.

Beautiful falls to visit if you are in the area. Also a popular spot for experienced kayakers.

River rushing over boulders. On the right, a tree manages to grow on flat boulders surrounded by the falls. The tree is about 2 metres tall and 3 metres in width. The water looks blurry due to a long exposure.

Update on the cougar sightings. Since it moved on, I can now disclose its location: it was right outside my apartment building. 😮 I live in a city near a wooded area with a creek and trails so it's perfect for a cougar on the move. We see black bears, otters, black-tailed deer and many birds but a cougar? That was a first. Unfortunately I never saw it myself.

I have been offering photo tours to locals and tourists in the Comox Valley and on Vancouver Island since 2018.

For some obscure reasons, my well-established business has never been featured in the Comox Valley Vacation Guide. I have been trying to get answers from the Comox Valley Tourism Office for 2 weeks now. Still waiting...

By the way, the guide features other tour operators, including some that are NOT located in our regional district.

Three Trumpeter swans in flight. We can see a muddy ground with a strip of snow in the background and some trees.

The gray jay is happy to report that the Comox Valley received its first snowfall of the season. Yay!

Last week, I asked REMAX in the Comox Valley if I could present my photo book at their weekly meeting because I think that it would make a nice housewarming gift for their clients. Their answer: it's a tradition that guest speakers bring donuts. When I asked how many people will attend, the answer was 40. Today, I asked the same to another local realtor Engel&Völkers. They said yes and I don't need to feed them.

If I ever have the means to buy a house, guess who I'll call.

Screenshot of the email from REMAX to me:
Hi Catherine, I just returned from a trip. Did you want to speak quickly tomorrow? We request that quest speakers have 5 minutes… and it’s a tradition that guest bring treats. It started with donuts but a mix of muffins & donuts would go well. Tuesday mornings at 9am, so please choose a Tuesday.
