    I have the opposite problem, seeing a foil in that guy's hand is really bugging me.

    Personally I find the way his arm is stuck behind his back the most annoying thing about the picture (even more than the fact that he appears to be saluting with his mask on).
    Still i am sure it is an excellent website.
    I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-
    dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
    Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
    High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
    In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
    As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
    Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
    Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing!

    I don't really know the details. It's been up for a few hours... so you guys are the first to see it.

    More content will be added as time progresses... such as tournaments, pictures etc... I believe they mainly wanted to get it up in time for on-line registration.

    Is it just me, or is his glove tucked into his jacket? Maybe his glove cuff is just very white.

    The BCFA logo was done by a famous Haida artist... gosh her name escapes me.... but her work is sold around the world.

    I like it... its two thunderbirds.... I think it would look awesome on Provincial patches or medals. Most medals look pretty much the same... it'll be nice if the BCFA offered something different.

    Yeah. I thought I actually recognized it, or the style. I looked in some of my NWC art books but didn't find a match. Very cool - generally my favorites are the mid-northern styles Kwakiutl, Haida etc. that looks pretty fluid for Haida work but prints always do run to more expressionistic forms. Thanks for the info FG.
