The Walk to the Mingan Wharf

During a break early in the week at the men’s gathering, Johnny and Louisa Saganash and I walked down the beach toward the Mingan wharf.

The sun was going down behind us and turning everything in front of us orange. The fishing boats were tied up and the water was flat.

Every island in the bay was lit up like that.

We kept walking out to Pointe Kauapehekat. There were seals out in the water.

By the time we turned back, the sky over the spruce had gone gold and black.

Any of these can be ordered as a print, on paper or canvas.

The rest of that week, and what was going on when I took these, is up for patrons.
