"Forbidden Mists"

Hi there, yep me too, in fact I spotted my very first Black Bear here. Some guy’s large dogs had treed it, and the man was worried about the Mother Bear turning up, so he wouldn’t go down the hill to call his dogs off the little cub. I ended up going down there and doing it for him. I never saw the Mother Bear but the little guy sure seemed happier when he scrambled down again about 30 mins later, after the dogs had departed.

I have a real problem wtih people who walk their dogs off-leash in wilderness areas. I stayed in a cabin near this spot for a month and it was incredible! The fog muffled sound and I was absorbed and isolated into this beautiful world of soft greens and creaking trees. I’ll never forget it. ~ Skye

Thanks for your comment :o-) Your work is spectacular! ~ Skye

Hi There Pinky! :o-) Thanks for your valid comments. I agree with you on all points. Yes indeedy, terrific is how it felt to stay there. I loved every natural moment of it.

Hi Kate, I think there is often truth to such myths as well. Stranger things have happened. Here on Vancouver Island where I have lived for 7 years (7 years ago today, to be exact), I have always felt a strong spiritual pull from this area. I have wanted to live here since I was a 7 yr old kid in NZ, so the pull has been a strong one lol

:o-)

Thanks Sarah, much appreciated. It’s very beautiful all around this area.

There’s lots of work in BC! We have this print on our living room wall and it’s a lot like looking out of a window. :o-) I love it! I even had Zazzle make a mouse pad out of it for me lol

Thanks for your comments, I always appreciate your sharing with me. :o-)

Thank you CJ. I never see fog or mist as an impediment to photography, I see it as a natural filter. Was lucky this particular day, I think. :o-)

Much appreciated Alan. Thanks!

That’s kind of you Krys. Many thanks, Skye

Thanks, John. I’m glad you dropped by. :o-)

Many thanks, eseffpe :o-)

Thanks Ding, so happy the little description added to the image for you. It’s an amazing myth and I felt the photo really fitted the tale especially as it is of the exact area where the tribe was said to have been absorbed by the mist, centuries ago.

I appreciate your thoughts on this one, Leslie. Thanks! It’s a very misty and mystical place at times. :o-)

Hi Rosalie, thank you for your kind comments. Re the bear cub, it wouldn’t be much of a forest without the wildlife, so I had to do something, right? lol

That’s a lovely thing to say Felicity. Thank you. It’s a scene I enjoy very much as well. I love the idea of looking at a photograph or a really good painting, and making myself believe it is a window instead, and the view I see is where I live. Fortunately my home is very close by this scene, so I am doubly blessed. ~ Skye

Thanks so much for dropping by! :O-)

Thanks Rany, that’s very kind. ~ Skye
