The logging was done by Weyerhaeuser corporation under Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification requirements..

Once an intact forest ecosystem and one of the last large watersheds of old growth forest, sadly, this valley has become increasingly fragmented with scenes such as this. By positioning a large stump in the foreground, I have tried to convey a sense of the size of the original forest and the impact of the destruction...Camera Specifications:..Nikon F3.Nikkor 20mm ais lens.Velvia 50.Shutter: 1 second f stop: f22 OTher Information ..Gitzo tripod and Manfrotto Proball 468.Mirror locked up and cable release used.
