In May of 2002 we moved from Calgary (Alberta) to
Atlin (British Columbia).
This small and remote Northern community is situated in the far northwest corner of this Canadian province.25 years of living and working in a growing city of now nearly 1 million people became a life in a small hamlet of just a few hundred souls.
Our
"Monarchroot": the root of a creeping birch found on top of Monarch
Mountain. Such an interesting shape.
Has become our logo.
Many
people know that we were always drawn towards the North.
During
one of our vacations we came across this delightful spot on the eastern
shores of Atlin Lake, where the mighty Yukon River starts as a small stream
coming off the Llewellyn Glacier.
That same vacation we bought our home. Now we are here permanently. A not
unusual story here in Atlin!
Sometimes you just have to follow your nose and let fate take over. Never
mind common sense!
Anyway we, sole-handedly, enlarged the house (now twice) and build ourselves
a nice deck to look out over the lake and the glaciers.
The latest additions beside a nice cosy studio next to the cabin is the
enlarged upstairs.
