From August 12 through August 31, I had the opportunity to create new aerial photography of the Pacific Northwest.
Flying over the mountains from Bella Coola, British Columbia to Comox, Vancouver Island brought me to the Klinaklini Glacier shown in the aerial photograph above.
The Klinklini Glacier is the largest glacier in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia and one of the largest glaciers in North America. It is located west of the Klinaklini River and the head of the Knight Inlet. Scientists are studying its changes and retreat over time. The glaciers of British Columbia contain a large portion of the total water supply of Canada.
Visibility was exceptional during most of the days during which I acquired new aerial photography of the Pacific Northwest.
Areas I photographed in British Columbia include Vancouver, Victoria, the Frasier River Valley, the Okanagan Valley, much of the eastern shoreline of Vancouver Island and the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
Atmospheric conditions in Seattle, the remainder of Puget Sound, Portland and the Columbia River were all exceptional for aerial photography while I was working there.
