better left unsaid

There’s a very inter­est­ing his­tor­i­cal site south of Prince Rupert, BC in Port Edward. At one time it was a work­ing can­nery, one of hun­dreds on the west coast of the province. The day we were there we had the place to our­selves, except for the rather well-fed cat that had free reign over the place.

I loved the lines of this place. I wasn’t sure I’d find any­thing but falling down build­ings and rust­ing machin­ery but I was wrong. The lines and sim­plic­ity of the build­ings really struck me. I was also happy it was low tide so I could see the pil­ings the build­ings were on. I don’t think the photo would have the same feel­ing as it does with the exposed pil­ings and the dark shad­ows. Then again, it may have been inter­est­ing to see a “float­ing” building.
