Pinnacle

I have taken so many shots of this pinnacle.  I really ought to check my archives and present a blogpost on the different moods, the different silent voices of this one hunk of stone.  I don't really explore.   I really enjoy coming back to the same few places again and again and again in different seasons, different weathers, different mindsets.  And, just as I love getting coffee at Moody's and a fish & chip dinner at Sea Pal Cove in the harbor, I love looking at this pinnacle from the deck of my kayak or, even better, from the water itself.

From "The Monkey's Raincoat"

"'Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday you will be a real boy.' The Blue Fairy said that.  In Pinnochio."

--Elvis Cole's line on page 58
of Robert Crais' first novel The Monkey's Raincoat.


(Keith would have gotten the point of the quotation from a crime novel, would have asked at least three good questions, and then would have debated our respective positions for as long as we felt like it.  That's a good friend.)

I made this piece back in 2001 or 2002, I believe.
