Our Summer in Pictures
Although our Beautiful British Columbia had been plagued this summer by a terrible heat wave and dry spell causing devastating wild fires, our community was lucky. The few fires caused by lightning were quickly put out. However, the smoke in the air was often so dense that one could not see the mountains across the lake. In spite of the eerie gloom in the air, there were moments when nature granted glimpses into its amazing beauty.
This must have been a very short summer in Canada, but really very nice shots indeed.

Actually, our summers including this one are long and have the length of a normal summer season. Thank you for your compliment!

beautiful gallery, dear Peter. You have wonderful landscapes and nature in BC, I saw it myself once. Our weather has been much too cold and rainy this year, today very stormy.
Have a nice day, kind regards Mitza

Don’t hide your light under a bushel, dear Peter 🙂 I will fly to Greece soon and there I will get some warmth and sun what I missed here all summer long. Yesterday we had a severe storm. Kind regards Mitza

Nice pictures, Peter! It looks like you had a nice summer. It’s been more than 30 summers since we visited the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia. Maybe it’s time to get up there again!

Well, then it is high time for another visit, Crow. Do it, while the American dollar is still strong. Have you tried on your previous visit the amazing Rocky Mountain Highway from Banff to Jasper? It is absolutely fabulous.

Yes, we visited both Banff and Jasper and also stayed a few days in Calgary. From Alberta we drove to Vancouver and stopped at Revelstoke which is about the closest we got to your Arrow Lakes area. I remember renting a canoe on Lake Louise and cruising on Lake Maligne. I didn’t take many photos that year, though — I was experimenting with a Sony video camera in those days. Very low resolution. Nothing like the digital cameras we have today!

The area south of Revelstoke with its magnificent scenery is definitely worth another visit, especially for someone like you being a passionate photographer. You would also enjoy the many hot springs on your way down to Nelson.

Gorgeous photos! And I’m so sorry about the fires in your beautiful area. I can’t imagine how much destruction they caused, and only hope that recovery comes quickly.

Thank you, Ann, for admiring my photos! As to the wildfires in BC, Fall is knocking at our door and with cooler temperatures and rain in the forecast we all breathe a sigh of relief.

With improved forestry practice nature around where we live is on the road of recovery. I have never seen so much diverse wildlife 40 years ago. Eagles and osprey were on the verge of extinction. Now they are everywhere.Let this happen on the entire planet and it could be saved. ???
