I never knew Douglas Richard Twiss II, of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nation, but I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet the young man. It appears his parents lost their son at age 22 and built this memorial garden to his memory on these Traditional Lands of the Kluane First Nation tribe. As I was driving the ALCAN near Burwash Landing in the Yukon, some odd rocks about 75 yards off the highway caught my eye so I turned around to get a closer look. I was stunned by what I found. I've never seen a more authentic, heartfelt, artistic, loving and respectful site like this before. It is such an insight into the Native inhabitants and their respect for life, land and nature. This was the highlight of my day and I hope, if you make the effort to look at it closely, it will touch you the way it did me. #InStone

Just a wandering fool with an iPhone. Don’t profess to be a great photographer but enjoy sharing some of Nature’s beauty. Inspired by the wonderful photos everyone else shares and hope to improve my skills and get a better camera. Update: I have begun to augment my photos with a digital camera since Spring 2018.
