Part of the area by one of my fave & free #backroads #wilderness #camping & recreation spots in #Ditidaht territory. The backroads in both the North & South #Cowichan areas have several fantastic recreational camping sites which are free to stay at - zero amenities so you need to be prepared to pack in what you need & pack it back out. I like the backroads spots better than fully maintained & easier to access sites. I rarely see anyone else near me when camping at backroads sites.

Boulder Forks Hut, a historic hut in Leatham Conservation Area, Marlborough.
Hand coloured with Windsor & Newton watercolour, tea toned cyanotype from digital. A4.
A young Sir Edmund Hillary visited here with some friends, and scrawled his name on the rafters in the 1940s, on his way to climb nearby 2120m Pinnacle.
The hut is no longer in use, and has been replaced by a nearby more modern one. (The historic toilet also still exists).
Public access to New Zealand's backcountry huts is under threat due to government cost cutting at DOC, however Backcountry Trust (https://www.backcountrytrust.org.nz/) is a charity that raises funds and volunteers to keep huts and tracks open to the public.
A gallery would take a commission if I sell anything, but I'm open to offers and to donate the 'commission' to the trust. (I need to eat too).

A wild brown bear in eastern Finland, some years ago.

The picture was taken from a hide, just like all the other Finnish bear photographs. I’m not into commercial hides, but the August night that I spent in that tiny tent-like shack was a very special one. In the middle of the night, when it already was too dark for any bear photography, I could still hear footsteps of the bears on the pond shores.
