looks like a kind of dandelion sort of plant we get. big tall stems with yellow dandelionish flowers. a weed in many lawns.

Dear John, I've downloaded Paul Gauguin's Two Tahitian Women With Mango Blossoms after checking your copyright.

I have a print of this work about 10 years old and after the Tate Gallery exhibition, I've discovered the colors on my print are not correct with the woman on the right wearing a green sarong, not blue, and the sarong on the woman on the left has a brown fabric instead of dark blue. Many printers such as Allposters still manufacture prints with the wrong colors.

I found one printer Art.com that has the blue sarong but the dark blue may not be correct, I have asked them for clarification.

I understand that a camera can copy the color of oil paints but sometimes printing technology is limited and replication is difficult.

I sincerely thank you for posting this photo, it shows the real Gauguin colors that are missing in 'fakes'.

Regards,
Albert Devivo, Brisbane, Australia

Colour correctness in photography is a very complicated issue. I certainly wouldn't guarantee my rendering is "correct". I used 400 speed print film which allows quite a bit of interpretation when it comes to colour. (Slide film by comparison has a much tigher rendering of colour). Looking at the image now, I suspect my print is a little heavy on green (too little magenta).

I can image two different reasons why your print is wrong - it's possible that the original photo was sloppy (for instance the photographer used daylight balanced film and non-daylight lighting) or that the negative they printed from had aged badly. Digital workflows and digital cameras have made people much more sensitive to these issues - in the 90s these kinds of errors were common and people just didn't seem sensitive to it.

Any idea what kind of car that is parked there or how many cars are in Ocean Falls?

When I visited there were perhaps a dozen vehicles we saw - many of the bigger SUV's with American license plates. I believe BC ferries provides car service and there are a few km of roads. No gas station of course.

What has become of the houses on Namu? The reason I ask is I would like to be able to live in one of them. I love the area. I am on my own, and have had lots of experience living in remote areas. The Yukon for one, out in the bush.

I would like to hear from someone to find out if I could live in one of the houses. I hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you! Vanne Hanisch-Godoy

Shell bead family from Namu - when I found these three people buried together with hundreds of shell beads I fully understood the honour, respect, care, and love which the people of Namu showed to three who had so violently died. This also told me the village warriors had successfully defended themselves and the town but at a very hard price.

For the last 43 years this family has often been on my mind as I wonder about their character and quality of life. I wish that I could go back in time 7,000 years to meet, fellowship and get to know them.

In the middle of the night we suddenly find a baby elk at our front door. we had seen it early along our driveway but left it along as the cow usually comes back for it. then our dogs bark and it is slumped at the front door. had called DOW but no response. it is very week and we are wondering what to feed it anyone.

Hi John - this is common Heather, scientific name Calluna vulgaris (known in older references as Erica cinerea). Hope this helps. PS - if you visit my RedBubble site I'd greatly appreciate help with identifying a couple of wildflowers in my gallery.

I love all the photographs which are related to all animals & birds & as well as with our culture.
I really love this channel & all the crew members who work for it, this is really something beyond the humanity.

I wish if I ever will get a chance to work for it.

With All Good Wishes

Wow that is really bizarre. I can't believe you guys were there a year almost to the day before the plane crash. And on a day as clear as when it happened. I read an article once that said people actually were on the roof when those planes hit trying to get out of the smoke. A helicopter saw them. Can you imagine the horror when it started to collapse? I was there about 5 years before it happened and I talked to a delivery guy who said he was in the building when the first terror attack happened in 1993 with the bomb and he got out by walking down the stairs. I always wondered if he was there on 2001 as well and if he made it.
