The #crooked #wobbly #wharf / #dock - leading out to an #abandoned building that nature is slowly reclaiming. Super windy day & #ocean #waters were choppy.

Part of the old #Namgis #BurialGrounds - there's a new one, in different area of island. When the memorial totems fall down, they're left there because BC coastal #FirstNations believe it's part of the natural cycle of returning ancestors to their lands; post physical deaths.

#AlertBayShipyards now #abandoned & #decaying - it's falling into the ocean, slowly. #Panorama shot of part of the old #shipyard & a sketchy, wobbly & crooked boardwalk to dock w/abandoned building that nature is reclaiming back. Lots of moss, plants & baby trees are growing all over it.

Last night. Pazifica made more #tamales wrapped in big #SwissChard leaves (substituted for banana leaves). #Popcorn night too. We're here for one more night & then head to Port McNeill. There's an abandoned mine a bit North from there that I want to show my friends. It's a place I haven't been to for over a decade.

This #TotemPole is laying on ground because it has a #broken #thunderbird #wing that needs to be put back on. The colours are very vivid in the rain.

#UmistaCulturalCentre was built on grounds of now demolished St. Michael's #ResidentialSchool in #AlertBay on #CormorantIsland . Owned & run by #NamgisNation on #NamgisTerritory . It houses their #potlatch #artifacts repatriated from colonizers who stole them. No photos allowed inside.

There's fir & cedar #trees - #growing out of the decaying old #dock #wood - which used to be a loading area for long abandoned fish saltery/cannery/fish nets sorting station. #Nature is incredibly #resilient & if left alone, it will #reclaim anything man has built.
