During 1891, Staff Commander John G. Boulton of the Royal Navy conducted a detailed survey of the various channels leading to Parry Sound. Commander Boulton discovered the area of the Parry Sound Archipelago to be dominated by " upwards of 4,000 islands and dry rocks".
This is just one of those rocks. Even the rocks look to be swirled by the relentless wind and current. There was once a pine tree on the western point of this rock. The other pine on the island was dead as well. Some low shrubs were managing to survive. It is a challenge to decipher the boundaries between the water, the rocks and the weather. Everything seems to be in motion in the Parry Sound Archipelago.
The sky was filled with cirrostratus and an autumn storm was on the way. Those regular bands of cirrus do not happen by accident. There is a clear meteorological reason behind their formation and organization.
I would paint the other side of this rocky island in
#2335 "Granite Swirls".
