Anie's Pizza & Bakery, Cache Creek, BC, Canada #photography #travel #landscape

In the background, the side of a hill. In the foreground, a low building with a parking lot around it, a few cars parked. The first thing you notice is the huge Canadian flags all round, then the sign - Anie's Pizza nad Bakery and a list of what they sell; and then, the banners for the Canadian Bluemoon Elvis Festival. My understanding is that was a one-time event.

Looking across the lake at a valley between mountains, the clouds have come right down to touch the land and there are dark fingers of rain. Everything misty and dim. Líl̓wat Nation.

#Lupinus ?latifolius, ?broadleaf lupin. Lupins are not always easy to identify, as species may interbreed and produce intermediate forms, and the difference between identified species can be quite subtle. #wildflowers #flowers #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

The whole picture is rather dark, with the earliest signs of light in the sky, peach and orange in the clouds. We're looking down along the street from a slight elevation. On either side, low factory and business buildings. Steam rising. In the distance, Burnaby Mountain.

Wilgress Lake, British Columbia, Canada #photography #landscape

We're looking across the lake, which is rather small, toward the opposite shore. The water is glassy smooth and is reflecting the sky, which is cloudy with sunny breaks. The far shore is wooded, and the aspens are gold among the dark conifers. In the distance, low mountains.

Night view from Queen Elizabeth Park, looking over Vancouver BC Canada, 2026 01. It was one of the nights when there was a chance of aurora, so we went up to the highest point in Vancouver proper, and looked North toward the mountains. #landscape #photography

A composite of two long exposures, showing a band of trees at the bottom, then a zone of silvery fog which conceals the city beneath it, then a strip of mountains (you can see the three ski areas "floating" above the city on the mountains), then the sky. A dotted line runs through the middle of the sky, which is made by the blinking lights on a float plane coming in to land at Coal Harbour to the left/West.

We're looking northeast across a tidal mudflat toward two nearby islets, and beyond that, to Meares Island, and then the mainland in the distance, I think that's Clayoquot Arm Provincial Park. There are four photos of the same view, each with different amounts of cloud and dawn light from the right (which is directly east), ranging from subtle pastels to vibrant magenta and gold.

We're looking across the canyon of the Fraser River, steep banks on both sides, low mountains in the distance. It's early enough in the year that the land is still green on brown, and the sky is hazy blue with few fluffy clouds. The image is a stitched panorama.

Hoodoos at Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada #landscape #photography #geology

Looking up at a "cliff" that's a thick layer of aggregate material, glacial till deposited by repeated glaciations. The topmost layer is harder and more coherent than the ones below it, and so resists erosion better than the lower ones; but it's not continuous either and so there are bits that are protected from rainfull while the areas around it are not, and gets quickly washed away. These form the hoodoos - a "tower" of the looser aggregate capped by a segment of more solid rock.

You can get a sense of the scale from the full-grown trees in the frame.

Brilliant rest stop, Castlegar, British Columbia, BC, Canada #photography #landscape

Standing at the edge of a river, with forest on either side, many trees starting to turn yellow. In the distance, mountains, and above, cloudy/clear sky. Power lines are strung across the river and they have globes on them which I think are there to make the lines more visible to aircraft (but that's me assuming).
