I was down in the Bella Coola Valley for 5 days.  Most of the time it rained.

Katie and Dennis’s property at Stuie houses four cabins drowned in trees.

The rain put a sheen on the fall colours in the underbrush.

The forest here is very different from that around Ginty Creek.  Huge firs, cedars and hemlocks dominate.

The closeup abstracts that I photographed reflected the gloom.

The sun poked through occasionally.  One morning I was lucky enough to catch the sunrise light on Mt Supendous as it appeared briefly among the clouds.
