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.

Old Barn On Highway 33
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…
June 18, 2019 – Highway 99
I took off for the day expecting to capture some landscape and sunset shots, but the only one that ended up working out was this random photo I took on the side of Highway 99 close to the Highway 1 junction near Cache Creek. I’ve…
June 12, 2019 – Highway 97 Early Sun
This was the view behind me as I was driving south on Highway 97 back to Kelowna at around 4AM. This was 10mm on my Sigma 10-20 lens, f/11 and 10 second shutter.
June 12, 2019 – Highway 1 At Night
This was taken at around 1:30AM standing on an overpass over Highway 1 near Sorrento, BC. A long shutter speed of 2 minutes was used. The effect turned out like I hoped, but I need to do some tweaking for the rest of the scene…

May 21, 2019 – Okanagan Mountain Park
The sky was pretty much grey all day today but I went ahead and hiked up the Boulder Trail in Okanagan Mountain Park. Happened to notice this little guy right at the side of the trail and luckily he stuck around long enough for me…
May 16, 2019 – East Kelowna, BC
The weather on this day wasn’t overly spectacular but I figured it would be nice enough to try testing out an ND filter and long exposure on moving water. I’ve never used one before so shortly after I bought my Sigma 10-20mm lens I also…
May 15, 2019 – Highway 5A
I originally intended to do a day of hiking but wasn’t feeling fully up to it, so I spent a number of hours ripping around highways in the CRX. I happened to be heading down Highway 5A toward Princeton, BC from the junction at 97C…
May 9, 2019 – Revelstoke, BC
This photo was pretty much accidental. I was driving down some random back roads in Revelstoke, BC and pulled over to walk through some trees toward a lake. I didn’t bring my whole camera kit, just the D7200 with the 35mm. Happened to see the…
