Photograph taken at an altitude of Nine metres at 08:32am on Monday 8th May 2023 off Vancouver Street and Cleveland Avenue, standing in front of Howe Sound Inn & Brewing where I was staying for one night in Squamish, British Columbia in Canada.

 

 

Here we look across to part of Siy̓ám̓ Smánit as the Squamish First nations originally referred to it. Legend says it is a longhouse transformed to stone by Xáays, as the Transformer Brothers are known in this language. The great cleft in the mountain's cliff-face in Squamish legend is a mark of corrosion left by the skin of Sínulhka, a giant two-headed sea serpent. In Western culture we know it as Stawamus Chief Mountain, also known as Stawamus Chief, The Chief or Squamish Chief. It is a granitic dome towering over 700 metres above the waters of Howe Sound, and one of the largest granite monoliths in the world.
