Converging Waters

Stunning photography and personal reflections abound in this beautiful collection of images highlighting this unique landscape. This book explores an area on the northern coast of Vancouver Island on the edge of the Broughton Archipelago: Queen Charlotte Strait, Broughton Strait, Cormorant Channel, Blackfish Sound. This part of the Namgis First Nation territory is characterized by tree-covered islands, pebble beaches, foggy mornings, rocky islets, orcas, eagles, and an everchanging light. Boats are at least as important as trucks for the few who live here. The sea and sky dominate the land, and marine mammals and fish seem to overshadow the human residents. Daniel Hillerts inspiring photographs focus on the wild essence that still permeates these converging waters, while Gwen Currys prose dives beneath the surface to appreciate not only the natural wonder of this place but its history, people, and present-day challenges.
