I call this photo 'If'. This is the Seymour river, and its at an abandoned homestead of maybe 5x10m. Only the foundations remain. It's not on any map, not even OSM has it. It is probably a remnant of the Japanese who settled in the valley, looking for peace. A UBC prof did research on this, up to 2000 ? people used to live here, now the valley is purely a nature reserve, the last logging was done in 1982, since then it's fairly pristine. I had lunch here, sitting on polished rocks, listening to the river flow by at a low flow before the true fall rains set in. The meandering river suggests infinity and timelessness. Just one more turn of the river, then we'll stop. #pnw #history #fall #nature #cycling #hiking #britishcolumbia #seymour #river
