Heavy snowfall prevented me from checking out some of the others that I was planning on hitting so I'll have to make a return trip in the summertime. Tons of pictures, I'll try to cull it down to my favorite spots, can only do 10 per post.

I'll try and post them in order to give a sense of what it's like to drive across central BC in the winter.

Part I.

I'm jealous of all of you. I live in north Texas, so pretty much everywhere you go looks like some variation of this:

It's terrible not having a forest within walking distance to wander into whenever you feel like it. :c

^ You have my sympathy, Chiomara. I've also spent time in disappointing landscapes. Right across the planet, we seem determined to roll out some variation of the same uninspired, unambitious townscape. The attitude is always "It functions, so that's good enough." - and your photo made me think of this old children's toy ;) :-

TBH an aerial view of chain stores and their signs is surprisingly cool.

Yeah; nobody cares about good architecture anymore! Only misery! When I'm mayor it's going to be all Byzantine opulence all the time. (Have you posted your town in this thread yet? It looks like a lot of you practically live in Narnia)

I loved those mats; I'd use them to stage pretend UFO attacks.
