Is THAT what your icon is? I couldn’t tell myself.

It’s a crop from this image: http://photos.geah.org/2002/vancouver/ravenandthefirstmen.jpg

Nice to see a ‘real’ biographical description mixed with history and story. I love the final sentence – gives a definite completeness to the tale. Beautiful uncropped picture too!

I was all settled in for the native story and you gave a discovery channel briefing! So sad.. But the ending was nice, I had to reread to get the whole placement of you, behind the camera, like a tour guide for us..

I think you did a good job of conveying a sense of wonder at the carvings. Native artwork has always, to me, been one of the most beautiful. And I love your last line.

Wow this is an incredible job, really nice story.

Beautiful story, well written and, as you always do, conveying the mood expertly. This explains much.

Top marks on the photo too: I never realised that it was a long, hand-held shot.

Last line clinches. Go you.

I like it, and as everyone said, I like the last line the most.

Have to add my applause for the last line. It’s beautiful.

Thanks, all. Your comments are much appreciated.

The trip that I described was quite a major turning point in my life, and the Raven has quite a lot of significance in that.

I’m also a little amused that the line I didn’t think worked at all, is the one you all like. :-)

I like the connection between artefacts and humans being the stories that they tell.
I find myself wanting to know the narrators story/ reference/ point of view. Perhaps a prequel would help me get inside of the narrator’s mind more.
