Sanctuary, Salish Sea

Artwork ID# - 2306-020

" Is there any terrestrial paradise where, amidst the whispering of leaves, people can be with whom they like and have what they like and take their ease in shadows and in coolness? "
- Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier, 1915

Wanting shelter, all of us seek refuge. Yearning for a place wild and remote. Those were my thoughts when I came upon this place. The mossy cliffs, sea caves, and open forests extending out into the Salish Sea. It beguiled and whispered to me. When next I discovered a nearby tree suspended and seemingly, in a visual sense, protectively sheltering the sea-washed rocks below and guarding the distant forest,, I knew it was a place where I needed to make a photograph.
