Salt Spring artist Rhen Levy captured this shot at the top of Mount Maxwell one morning in mid-November after spending some days chasing the mist morphing over the island. She used one of her favourite lenses — a 300 mm telephoto lens her photographer brother Michael had gifted her for wildlife photography — to capture these ethereal scenes unfolding far across the valley as if an artist had used a brush to create Japanese ink paintings (Sumi-e).

Originally from Montreal, Rhen Levy (aka Barbara) enjoys sharing the subtle beauty of nature from her west coast island home through her captivating work as a photographer and poet. Her distinctively ethereal images are an invitation to step into the remarkable world she inhabits, where the air is filled with bird song and where the ever changing landscape reveals hidden gems. Rhen shoots with DSLR (Digital single-lens reflex) Nikon cameras. She is now working on her second book of poetic images and words, titled A Bridge Between Two Worlds.
