A man in blue hikes along a mountainside trail with a baby in a backpack carrier. A child in an orange hoodie, grey trousers, and a green pack follows along the narrow footpath behind him. The path cuts through alpine meadows and between clusters of fir trees headed towards Blackcomb Lake. The rocky peaks are obscured by mists.

"Third Man on the Mountain" (1959)

My three menfolk hiking on Blackcomb. Ok so the smallest is less hiking and more riding... but still.

An image of a stalk of pink fireweed in a meadow of wildflowers. The stem has dark pink unopened buds at the top with four-petal blossoms that have opened lower down giving it a cone-like shape. Rocks, grasses, and other wildflowers are out of focus in the background. The image is predominantly green, but there are some white and orange flowers on the right side of the image balancing the pink and purple tones on the left.

An image of multicoloured layers of graffiti on top of a rusting boxcar. Several tags have be added on top of each other. Blue, white, and yellow are predominant in the visible lower layers. The current top layer reads "I wuz here" in red capital letters. The text is circled with a ring of blue. Orange-brown dried needles from the surrounding evergreen forest are scattered over the old metal. A glimpse of the surrounding foliage is visible in the top corners of the frame. At the bottom right corner a small bit of the metal grating that provides pathways on top of the boxcar is visible. The grates have jagged edges to provide traction. This is great for stability, but incredible painful to climb down from if you're kneeling on it in leggings...

"Here" is the top of a Whistler train wreck boxcar.

An image made on the hiking trails of Blackcomb Mountain looking towards more mountains to the southeast in the Coast Mountain range. Taken during the summer, the landscape around the trail is a mix of alpine meadows and evergreen forests. In the right third of the image are two rectangular bright blue signs marking the direction to nearby ski slopes. They are at the top of an extremely tall H-shaped wooden frame. The upper sign has the outline of a white square followed by "Cloud Nine" and an arrow pointing left. The lower sign has the outline of a white square followed by "Panorama" and an arrow pointing right.

Left to Cloud Nine, right to Panorama, and way up in the air for signs that need to still be visible in the winter.

A black and white image of a rocky slope with sparse tree cover on Blackcomb Mountain taken near the Peak 2 Peak gondola site. The segment of the mountain in the frame slopes upward from the bottom left corner to the top third of the right side. The remainder of the frame is densely fogged.

Blackcomb and fog.

A photograph of a marmot hanging around the entrance to the Peak 2 Peak gondola. There appears to be an attempt at a bit of landscaping happening in this spot with fresh looking soil and sprouting greenery. The marmot is happily eating some of these attempts. Some rocks and a wooden fence are out of focus in the background.

This marmot seemed pleased the humans keep growing fresh little sprouts for snacking.

A wooden bench at a lookout point on a Blackcomb Mountain trail surrounded by a gravel trail and alpine wildflowers. The trunk of a damaged tree stands at the right. In the background, are multiple mountains covered in evergreen forests are visible on the left side of the frame. On the right side, clearing fog is rising into the atmosphere as it's burned away. An out of focus overhanging fir branch encroaches from the top left corner.

I've already covered liquid and solids today, so here's some rising fog evaporating as the sunshine burns through.

An overhead photograph of a hydro dam on the Fitzsimmons Creek taken while riding the Peak 2 Peak gondola. A narrow creek winds through the valley between Blackcomb and Whistler mountains. The reservoir, dam, and spillway of the hydro project creates a teardrop shaped interruption. Dense evergreen forests surround the waterway.
