VN #078: Aerial Perspectives 2 ~ A Flow of White Stone
Published: June 30, 2025

 

A Flow of White Stone

Recently, I curated my entire collection of aerial images, most of which I made while photographing my book Flyover: British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. As a result, I have created a selection of Visual Narratives to share my favourite images which describe the various aspects of the central British Columbia landscape from the air. They show the regions unimaginable diversity and spectacular beauty.

 

A Flow of White Stone:

Cupped in a shoulder of the Rainbow Volcano, as it rises above the plateau to the east of the Coast Mountains, a flow of white stone lies as lightly as the last remnants of a late spring snow.

The following images were made during two flights; one in early August, the other in late September. By studying the colour of the vegetation and the amount of snowpack, one can see that the summer hiking season is probably no longer than one month of the year.

From a compositional perspective, I photographed the landscape as both a largescale viewscape and an in-tight abstract. Technically, I used two different lenses with focal lengths between 36mm and 160mm.
