#PenderIsland #Winter 2012.
A peaceful abode.

A serene winter landscape featuring a small cabin nestled on a snowy shoreline, framed by a dense forest of snow-covered evergreen trees. The cabin has dark siding and a row of windows. The foreground showcases a body of water, mirroring the muted tones of the scene. The image is shot in a monochrome palette.

Despite the forecast of nothing but rain ended up being a perfect day for a bicycle ride to Brooks Point. #penderisland #britishcolumbia

Climate breakdown is not a tragedy — it’s a political choice.
A handful of polluters profit while the rest of us are told to recycle harder.

We hold the long note of accountability until the walls shake.
This is what solidarity sounds like.

Rebel action on #PenderIsland.

Portrait of me in a striped hat and smiling mischievously peers over a wooden barrier marked with a "Danger - No Access beyond this point" sign (translated in French). They are holding up both hands, making a peace sign with each. The photograph is in black and white, providing a timeless or documentary feel. The wooden structure framing the scene adds to the sense of containment and the juxtaposition of the playful figure with the warning sign creates a lighthearted, rebellious tone.

Arrival

#PenderIsland #IslandLife #BritishColumbia #Photography #FensterFreitag

Vertical photo looking through a room and out of its window. The end of a bed with a smooth white cover is visible on the right, along with a pile of dark blue duvets and pillows. The medium stained wood floor is covered with a jute rug under the bed area. The window is flanked by filmy looking white drapes, and a black carry-on suitcase sits on the floor by the left side of the drapes. Through the white mullions on the window is a magical view: vibrant green grass in the foreground, large fluffy conifer trees on the left and right flanking a light blue gray patch of water in the mid ground, and in the background, a gray blue island and cloudy sky. Instant calm.

This B.C. carver transforms raw lumber into works of art
On the quiet shores of B.C.'s Pender Island, Colin Hamilton found his calling as a master of woodworking. For over two decades, he has dedicated himself to the craft of thuja (yellow cedar) carving, creating sculptures that blend traditional elements with contemporary abstraction.

A landscape with two prominent trees on the left and right sides. A wooden picnic table is positioned in the foreground, slightly right of center. The background features the Pacific Ocean with smooth water and snow-capped mountains visible in the distance, under a pale sky.

It's been over a decade since I spent time on Pender Island but we're planning on being out there in February. What should we see? What should we do?

Most importantly, where can we find fresh crab from local fishers to take back to our AirBnB to boil up?

Here's what we have so far...

We're bringing our bikes on the back of my car.

(I'm also considering a Mastodon meetup in Victoria and/or Vancouver open to more than just mstdn.ca, so stay tuned)
