C'est parti pour l'inktober/Lindentober! On commence avec le Lindentober et la liste proposée par @lindenshieldarts avec le mot "Eyes in the dark#
Je ne vous cache pas que la remise en route pour faire de la peinture est un peu compliquée. Je me suis rendue compte que ça faisait un an que je n'avais pas fait de gouache! 😱#eyesinthedark #intheforest #foret #foretautomne #magicforest #gouachepainting #gouacheartist #forestpainting

The only #ruins left at #abandoned No.8 coal mine in #Cumberland. There used to be a huge building here but it was demolished in the 90s. Before it was torn down, it was a popular party place for local #ComoxValley teenagers. All the old mine shafts have been blocked off for public safety. There is still a large abandoned building that was part of this former large coal mine site but it's really deep into the forest & you need to bushwhack your way there. We had very limited time on this past road trip so I stuck to showing my friends the 2 easiest accesses to cool #AbandonedPlaces.
Eight mines used to operate at Comox, named No. 1 Mine through to No. 8 Mine. The workings consisted of boreholes, air shafts, mine entries, & underground network of tunnels. A rail network was also developed to link the ore piles with the town & Union Bay. Old rail bed remain in place today as public trails. A series of survey monuments also remains on the surface today. These have been tracked down, beginning with a concrete monument located slightly below ground in the vicinity of Cumberland Park & recorded to match the maps of the underground workings with the surface-level features today.
The mines at #Comox were technically advanced for their time, with partial mechanization & electrification well before 1900. The first documented use of electricity underground was in the No. 4 Mine in 1891, when four electrically-driven coal-cutters were installed.
Canadian Collieries (owned by #Dunsmuir family) Ltd. operated coal mines on Vancouver Island, including the Wellington Mines near Nanaimo & Comox Mines at Cumberland. Comox Mines had earlier been operated by Union #Colliery Company, the first of the mines being opened in 1888. The last of the Comox Mines, the No.8 Mine, was closed in 1953.

Upper Goldstream Falls in Summer.
I like it more in Winter & early Spring - when almost no one else is there.#waterfalls #GoldstreamPark #nature #GoldstreamRiver #DisabledHiker #InTheForest #Trees #BCparks #yyj #VictoriaBC #vanisle #VancouverIsland #PNW #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #BritishColumbia #Canada #Westcoast #TheGreatOutdoors #NatureAdventure #ExploreNature #forest #river #NatureLover

Please enjoy & excuse my not smiling face.
I wanted to show folks that nature never wastes anything. I wanted to show how this dead tree is feeding new life growths & how many animals benefit from us letting nature do its thing.#GoldstreamPark #nature #DisabledHiker #InTheForest #Trees #HikingTrails #BCparks #yyj #VictoriaBC #vanisle #VancouverIsland #PNW #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #BritishColumbia #Canada #Westcoast #TheGreatOutdoors #NatureAdventure #HikingMakesMeHappy #NatureLover

I saw this huge Douglas fir tree trunk on our way back to parking spot.
When I first saw it - shouted out - LOOK AT THAT! They are WOOD SHORTS!
Then, my friend took a pic of me with the big wood shorts.#GoldstreamPark #nature #DisabledHiker #InTheForest #BCparks #yyj #VictoriaBC #vanisle #VancouverIsland #PNW #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #BritishColumbia #Canada #Westcoast #TheGreatOutdoors #NatureAdventure #HikingMakesMeHappy #ExploreNature #TreeTrunk #NatureLover

Last section of a long series of stairs that lead down from the hiking trail to the river & Upper Goldstream waterfalls.
They should install safety railings on at least one side of those stairs w/none.

Nadene, standing on old growth big leaf maple tree stump. I loved the gooseneck thick branch that extends out. There's huckleberry, cedar, big leaf maple & Douglas fir babies growing out of the stump.
