This Four seconds long exposure was taken at  an altitude of Two metres at 06:49am on Sunday 26th September 2019 around sunrise  off Beacon Avenue beside the new bandstand in Beacon Park, on the promenade above the beach in Sidney by the sea on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. 

Totem poles are known as ᒥᐢᑎᑯᐦᑳᐣ mistikohkân in Cree and Gyáa'aang in Haida Gwaii, derived from the Algonquian word odoodem [oˈtuːtɛm] meaning "(his) kinship group". They are poles, posts and pillars often made from Western Red cedar wood into which are carved or hung symbols or figures, by Tlingit, Tsimshian, Kwakwaka'wakw and Nuu-chah-nulth and northern Northwest Coast Haida Gwaii First Nations and indigenous peoples. 

The carvings commemorate cultural beliefs and ancestry, legends and events and are unique to each clan or group.
 
Here we look out towards Moresby Passage and Coal Island, Moresby Island and Portland Island.
