Nice Slats! Great angle looking down at the mountains, I didn't know beavers went that high. Looks like a lot of compression on that last pic especially. Has float season started up there yet?
A few more recent ones from the coast.

Re: Pic from a swamper
Hey buddy, yeah that last pic was heavily cropped and straightened from some sub-par photograph (the striations in the rock were too cool though) that was no doubt snapped at the exact moment that an up/down draft gained or lost me 1000' in my 10,000' attempt 
Although later I did achieve some personal "Beaver bests".....over 13500 empty and 9600 with a canoe Ice is off the river and the smaller lakes but is still holding out on the big ones, but that won't stop me from bringing up the first of the float birds tomorrow hopefully.
One day I'll wise up and join you were this sort of ice situation doesn't occur.
As usual, great pics!

In QEH's first log book Mel logged his first hour when she just had about 5hrs since new!. He pokes his nose around here every now and again... If anybody has any thing to pass on to him, i'll make sure he gets the message.

It's at the mouth of the Knight inlet about 87 NM North Northwest of Campbell River, BC. It's beautiful...

Silly question -- -- Is the mouth of an inlet where the river runs in, or where the inlet joins the rest of the ocean?

Fine pictures FP. 
Going back a ways, but I can remember when LEA was owned by Eastern Provincial Airways.

The Green Airways Otter looks to be a Polish Conversion. Didn't know they were running one.
