November 5, 2019 – Barnes Lake

This is a location I recently found while poking around maps and street view. The location is not far from Ashcroft, BC and I timed my arrival for around sunset. The “recreation site” I took this from is basically a single campsite on the side 

Old Rail Bridge – Highway 97

Old Rail Bridge – Highway 97

I was headed north on Highway 97 to Chasm and I noticed this rail bridge over an old stretch of road. Wanted to get a closer look as it seemed odd for part of a road to just be sitting there going nowhere. Had to

This ended up being a lucky shot as I had originally driven past the sign for Beaver Pond Trail while cruising through Manning Park, but turned around on the highway out of curiosity as I had never stopped there before. This was taken August 8,

Hwy 5A Merritt to Kamloops

One of my favorite routes for pleasure cruising is the old Princeton-Kamloops highway. The stretch between Merritt and Kamloops is a scenic drive and typically not a whole lot of traffic.

This photo was taken in the evening of July 24, 2019. I spent the day around the Slocan Valley area with my camera but didn’t end up making any photo stops. I’ve driven past this barn numerous times over the years but never really thought
