Canada 2012

We took a 4 week trip to British Columbia this year, making several road trips during our time there. The first was via Manning Park,
where we stayed for a few days to celebrate my nephew's wedding, then on to Nelson, via Osoyoos, looping through Creston,
back to Nelson, then up to Kaslo through the Kootenays and across to Nakusp, Kamloops and back to our base in Richmond (near Steveston).
The second trip took us north through Squamish, Whistler, Lillooet and back via Logan Lake and Hope, and on the third trip we went over to
Vancouver Island, visiting Victoria, Chemainus, Port Alberni, the Pacific coast and Nanaimo.
Plus a few day trips to places like Harrison Hot Springs and White Rock...
Lots of traveling, lots of photos!

These are a selection of the many images I took.

Wonderful Gallery Chris; as a resident of B.C. and Vancouver Island it's always interesting to see what a visitor sees and takes away with them. Thank you for allowing me to see it through your eyes

So many beautiful sights, Chris. And some very familiar ground for us - in and around Victoria, one of our very favorite places to visit.

Wonderful gallery, Chris! You have such a good eye for composition and beauty. We visited B.C. in 1974, and these great images make me want to return.
