A nocturnal view of the historic neon signa attached to the original Jack Chow Insurance, within the Sam Kee Building, reportedly the World’s narrowest. I renew my insurance each year at their new office across the street!

One of the highlights of my time at the Cassiar Cannery Long residence was the opportunity to spend some time around ravens. Full of personality, they have a real presence on the north coast, both in urban and outlying areas.
While not easy to photograph, if you have a long lens and some time to spend at the local transfer station, you might get lucky.
