Wednesday’s Photos

While I was waiting …

On May 1st, I took my car to Nakusp to get it serviced. There is no better way to bridge the one-hour waiting time with a little stroll down to the beach at Arrow Lake with your camera handy. Spring has now sprung very noticeably. Hyacinths and common stork’s bills have spread from nearby gardens onto the steep embankment at the lake. With Saddle Mountain looming high above the lake in the background, I also captured some impressive driftwood sculptures and a willow tree in its verdant glory. The cheerful German folksong “Komm lieber Mai und mache die Bäume wieder grün.” emerged from distant childhood memories. You find a few of my photos below. Enjoy.

Saddle Mountain Fire Lookout sits on top of Saddle Mountain elevation 2304 m / 7559 ft, to the North is Upper Saddle Mountain elevation 2330 m / 7644 ft. The view is spectacular of Arrow Lake and Nakusp BC.

My composition “Among May Flowers” uses five tracks to create a polyphonic effect.
