Here’s some recent snaps of the very popular Vedder River in Chilliwack, BC, Canada
We recently went to visit family who recently moved to “Lake Country” which is close to Kelowna, British Columbia. Ben, my son-in-law, took me for a nice hike to the top of Santina Park which is just up the road from their new home.
I enjoyed adding the “oil effect” to create a “painterly scene”
But I kept the guy “real” to give the feel of him walking in a magical place.

I took this shot of my friend at the Othello Tunnels near Hope, British Columbia. Here’s a bit of background history … The tunnels were built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1914, who also helped in the construction of the cross-Canada railway that was meant to link the Kootenays with the South Coast of BC. In 1914, they contained one of the most expensive railway miles in the world, at $300,000.
Back in the early 1900s, the Canadian Pacific Railway wanted a rail line linking the Kootenay region with the coast. This railway line was built over three mountain ranges in the Coquihalla Gorge, passing through five tunnels and over several bridges – known as the Othello Tunnels.
