A solitary arbutus clings to a rugged British Columbia headland, its gnarled limbs twisting seaward above the surf. Rendered in fine black and white, peeling bark and wind-worn branches glow in silvery greys against a bright overcast sky, with deep shadows and rich contrast lending quiet, enduring drama. A striking piece for lovers of the Pacific Northwest coast.
