Slow down for a moment
Quiet Island Moments is a small collection of calm scenes from Vancouver Island. Beaches at low tide, rivers in early fall, firs leaning in the wind, the last light over the water.
Every photo and clip is taken on real walks around the Cowichan Valley and up and down the Island. Each one is paired with a few simple words, something to carry with you for the rest of your day.
Water never fights the rocks in its way. It flows around them, over them, and keeps on going.Quiet Island Moments
