BCSLA - BC SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS
THE INFINITELY VARIED LANDSCAPES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
What is striking about the images presented in this BC collection, is how well the photographers have recognized and captured The effects that weather and natural processes have had on shaping unique landforms and ecosystems. Some of these spaces have been protected through the work of visionaries and strategic planning while other spaces are at risk under development pressure. Strategically planned routes provide human access, while promoting the understanding that these landscapes deserve respect and stewardship.
Ce qui est le plus frappant avec les images contenues dans la Collection représentant la Colombie Britannique, est à quel point les photographes ont réussi à saisir comment les pressions continues du climat et des processus naturels ont produit des paysages et écosystèmes uniques. Quelques uns de ces lieux ont été protégés par le travail incessant et la planification stratégique de visionnaires, tandis que d’autres sont encore fragilisés par les pressions du développement. La planification stratégique des routes résultent en des accès efficaces, tout en encourageant une meilleure compréhension de ces espaces précieux qui méritent respect et protection.
From mountains to wetlands to desert to ocean, the interconnected landscapes of British Columbia profoundly affect and inspire all that come in contact with the uniqueness of this land. Weather patterns offer a lens which changes our perspective and appreciation of the landscape over time. The search for cool shade and water in the desert during the summer is replaced with the need for warmth and enclosure when a snow storm hits. The roar of an approaching wind in a majestic grove of trees is contrasted with the stillness of a pond’s surface in the early morning hours. To experience these changes we must leave the comforts of the built environment and step into the natural landscape prepared to patiently observe processes which remain inexorably beyond our control.
The ability to capture such moments with a camera lens provides us with a glimpse into the experiences that have influenced the photographer. The resulting images challenge us to appreciate the intricacies of our wildly varied landscapes.
