A glimpse of the river [Explored]

North Thompson River,

Kamloops, B.C.

I have next to no time for photography currently so the few times when I can snatch 45 minutes or so to take a few shots become very precious. If those times happen to fall when the weather is nice, as was the case here, I am even more happy.

 

I just loved this view of the river, framed as it was by trees and on the left by a wood carving (one of a trio, the other two farther to the left of the frame). I've taken many shots of the three carved cedar poles but have never had any I was pleased with. The carvings were done by a U.K. sculptor named Giles Kent. That the city of Kamloops would commission a sculptor from the U.K. is very bizarre seeing as we have many gifted First Nations wood carvers locally. I mean no offense to any of my friends from the U.K. :-)
