The Waste Land
Thompson River valley
Near Cooney Bay
This area is kind of like a foreign place to me, mainly because it is so flat due to being on the river flood plain. There are still mountains all around but it is a relatively vast flat place with no buildings and the fact that there are no trees either accentuates the flat and barren aspect.
It is a new area to me. The first time I came here was three weeks ago and I marvelled then at the starkness of the landscape with so many uprooted trees lying strewn across the gravel and sand bars. Trees have obviously grown here at one time, else there wouldn't be so many dead ones lying about. Something has happened to change the ecology of the area I guess. I haven't yet been able to find out any information on what it might have been.
