Early Fall Excursion in the Kootenays
Last week we were blessed with three days of perfect early fall weather that is typically described as Indian summer. The air was crisp. When the morning fog lifted from the valley, the sun brilliantly illuminated the landscape and the sky was finally blue, which we had been missing so much during the wildfires. We followed the lower Arrow Lake to the picturesque town of Nakusp, then turned south past Box Lake and stopped at the beautiful Summit Lake. Then we moved on to New Denver where we took in the sights of the the Slocan Lake with its Valhalla Mountains presenting a magnificent backdrop. Here is a small sample of our trip. Enjoy.

I like the mystical atmosphere in the topmost two pictures a lot.

Wow, all of these would make great posters. The vistas are nicely framed and balanced, but my particular favorite is that first atmospheric one with the little wooded island in the mist.

This beautiful corner of the world makes think of the subtitle of your blog: The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.

Yes, in comparison to Canada, Denmark is just the size of a city park … but it does have beautiful corners as well. I would not mind more space around me though … 😉

But don’t forget that Denmark has Greenland, the largest island of the planet Earrth. There is lots of room to roam there, Birgit., and a nice place to cool off. Haha!

They are trying hard to get independence …

The question is: What the inhabitants survive without Danish assistance?

I think they would have to rely on political partners, which might get them out of the frying pan into the fire. Both, the Russians and Americans are very interested … not to forget the Chinese.

I really like that first photo. All of the images are lovely, but there’s something about the island that seems so approachable; it’s landscape on a human scale.

That the first picture has the greatest emotional impact on my followers is clear from the comments I received for this post. I also notice a certain kinship among the bloggers that follow each other. Thank you for your words of appreciation, Linda!

I remembered these days again the Valhalla near Regensburg, where I once was about 45 years ago.
Nice that there is a scenery with this name here.

Valhalla means hall of the fallen, a term of ancient Norse mythology. I am not surprised that you have a Valhalla in Germany.

I’ll join the caravan of people who appreciate the way the island (or promontory) seems to loom out of the fog.

Fog makes the scenery magical. In many cities, unfortunately, fog has now turned to smog, and has now become a threat. Threat for mankind that has been created by mankind 😦
