Adam Crysler, Photographer Of The Howe Sound Fjord
Adam Crysler lives in Vancouver and shot the photo of Howe Sound from The Chief in Squamish where he was living at the time on a day he got out of school early. Here is the information he sent me about that day.
The story of that day was that we got off school at lunch and decided a hike was in order (as my friend and I often decide), and the closest thing with a decent view that wouldn't be crowded was The Chief. So we hiked up the backside (no scaling the front, I climb mountains...but not rock walls!) and peaked the 2 main peaks. The shot in the book is taken from Peak 2 looking up Howe Sound. You can see the Squamish Pulp terminal, and behind there is Mt Ellesmere, Foulger Peak. Those mountains actually back onto Sechelt / Salmon Inlet and border with Tetrahedron Provincial Park.
Adam is now an officer on cruise ships.
He has posted more of his hiking photos online. (Opens in a new window)
This photo of Adam shows him again in the BC mountains he loves.
