Life Imitates Art / by Wayne Sills

Marysville Falls can be found just minutes from downtown Kimberley, a small ski town nestled in the East Kootenays of BC, accessible via a narrow walking trail from the bridge in Marysville.

The Falls commence where Mark Creek, from its shallow valley, cascades into the canyon that flows downstream to the St. Mary River. Amazingly, the rocks that these waters constantly slowly erode are some of the oldest to be found in BC at 1.4 billion years old!

On a recent visit to Marysville, when the ice was just beginning to melt after a longer than usual winter, my goal was to create some images that had a surreal painterly feel.

Hopefully, you'll enjoy the result.
