Somewhere between Vancouver and Fort St. John we crossed these beautiful snow-covered mountains. I took advantage of a break in the cloud cover to capture this image shortly before dusk.

This is the Great court (or Queen Elizabeth II's Great Court), opened in 2000, built over the courtyard in the middle of the museum. It is centred around what used to be the British Library Reading Room (before the British library moved to its own house in 1998, providing much needed space for the vast book collection). The glass roof was designed by Buro Happold and executed by the Austrian Waagner-Biro. It is the largest covered square in Europe and the glass roof is 6,100m2 - each triangular piece has a unique form to fit the undulating roof.

The reason for the name ‘Cathedral Grove’ becomes immediately obvious only a few minutes into visiting. Soaring towards the sky, these huge trees form their own beautiful cathedral of nature.

Featuring a magnificent temperate rainforest with enormous 800 year old trees, a carpet of ferns and draping moss, Cathedral Grove is an essential stop on any Vancouver Island road trip.

Officially known as MacMillan Provincial Park, the trees in Cathedral Grove are amongst the oldest and tallest in Canada.

It’s a humbling experience to stand next to these incredibly tall and gnarled tree trunks, some as wide as a car. The tree canopy is up to 80 metres high in places, with the sky a distant proposition. As you walk through the forest, beams of sunlight filter through the branches above, illuminating so many layers of green.

This incredible forest filled with Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, Grand fir and Western Red Cedar trees is the most easily accessible grove of old growth on Vancouver Island. (offtracktravel.ca)

British Museum

Tate Britain, known from 1897 to 1932 as the National Gallery of British Art and from 1932 to 2000 as the Tate Gallery, is an art museum on Millbank in the City of Westminster in London, England. It is part of the Tate network of galleries in England, with Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. It is the oldest gallery in the network, having opened in 1897. It houses a substantial collection of the art of the United Kingdom since Tudor times, and in particular has large holdings of the works of J. M. W. Turner, who bequeathed all his own collection to the nation. It is one of the largest museums in the country. The museum had 391,595 visitors in 2020, a drop of 78 per cent from 2019 due to COVID-19 pandemic closures, but still ranked 52nd on the list of most-visited art museums in the world.

The Benin "bronzes" have been much in the news in the art world of late. Nigeria has been seeking their return for decades, to little avail. But the French Musee de Quai Branly has agreed in principle to return their substantial holdings, which they purchased from the British Admiralty, which auctioned off much of their war booty from the conquest of the Kingdom of Benin in 1897. Details are here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin_Bronzes

-- which includes a link to the BM holdings, by far the largest in the world.
