Project Design: Mindful of the cool earthy air along the river, mindful of the rapid water rushing past and the dappled sun dripping through dark dense trunks I plan to take pictures of the Puntledge River along Stotan Falls. I wish to share through a series of photographs the awareness of presence that a person directly experiences when peacefully engaged with nature.
Is it my imagination or has the underbrush thickened beneath the ever-spreading trees? It is otherwise quiet here beyond the sound of the falls and the flowing river the occasional bird’s song can be heard. There is no children’s laughter, no squeals of excitement nor hoots of joy from daring divers; no splash of chatter from beachside bathers It is peaceful almost pristine. I wonder if it is such a bad thing that access to this area is restricted.
