There is something delightful about watching the sun set over a string of mountains, reflected in the sea. We often go to the west end of Oweekeno village to watch that very sight.
The government wharf is at the west end of the village.
This is where the plane lands when it cannot land at the airstrip.
An airplane landing at a snowy dock is always a welcome sight. But an even more delightful sight is the changing evening sky, when we relax after a day at work.
From here, we can look several kilometres down the Rivers Inlet fjord, towards where it makes a slight bend before leading out to the Pacific Ocean.
Sometimes we are lucky enough to see the moon rising as the sunset is fading, both within the same frame.
Often enough we find ourselves alone at the dock. Well, not quite alone. Granville always comes along for the ride, and a bit of a fun at the dock.
Facing west, we have an open view from the dock. This ensures a beautiful sunset colouring the sky above the mountains, with the plane dock silhouetted in the foreground.
Despite the small area in which we wander, we are finding plenty of beauty. It is especially wonderful to revisit places, like the government wharf, to enjoy and extend Wuikinuxv’s many-varied presentations.
