A long weekend away with minimal access to Flickr - I'll catch up ASAP!

My Leather couch in the living room. It has a lot of great texture. Have a wonderful holiday week. HMM.

Big Rick Tucker was a free trapper, or a Mountain Man. He worked for himself and traded animal pelts for anything he needed. This time he looked for the best axe that he could find. He was going to build a new cabin near lake 'gitche gumee' (today known as Lake Superior) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Rick had to be careful in his land selection for he knew that the Chippewa Indians had warned him of sacred grounds nearby that were not to be disturbed in any way.

He found a perfect piece of land near no one. He could fish, hunt and chop wood for the hard winter coming.

The cabin was completed in November. The only thing he worried about was whether he had enough wood to last 4-5 months of bitter cold.

Rick Tucker would use skates attached to logs to carry lumber back home. Snow had already fallen and it was hard work. Late in the year an Indian dropped by to talk to him. His name was One Finger, and he told Rick that he had chopped up one of the sacred trees. Rick said that he not seen any sign nor had anyone said a word to him.

One Finger said that there was nothing that could be done now. The Legend stated that anyone destroying a sacred tree, upon their death, would have their Soul sent to live in one of the sacred trees. This would last until every sacred tree was destroyed.

Rick laughed at the legend and asked One Finger to leave his cabin.

In later years some of the land containing the sacred trees went under the protection of the federal government as a National Park. Over the years many visitors have sworn that they saw what looked like a man trying to escape.

Mont Blanc at back, seen from Brevent on the other side of Chamonix Valley. This is treacherous terrain. The same day as I shot this, a Swedish skier died in an avalanche. It started in the couloir just behind the bottom cliff face along the ridge in this pic...

My first outing to Point Arkwright on saturday morning with Kim, Maria & Kush. Aside from the freezing cold wind it was quite enjoyable rock hopping around the headland admiring the different textures and shapes that have been carved over time.

Not much in the way of colour due to the clouds but mother nature did provide some really nice diffused light at around 7:30am which I took advantage of once I found a decent composition. We had the run out tide and as it slowly got lower it made it a heap easier to get around the rocks. A fantastic spot on the Sunshine Coast with endless amounts of shapes & textures..."I'll Be Back"

A coastal town on Queenslands Sunshine Coast, Point Arkwright was named in honour of Sir Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the modern cotton spinning factory system and machinery. It is tied in somewhere down the line with Point Cartwright, which was named after Edmund Cartwright who developed weaving and combing equipment which compliment Arkwright's inventions. A 2 min drive from Coolum Beach which boasts Mt. Coolum & according to some it's the second largest rock in the world.
