It doesn't happen often, but once in a while I find the time to do some landscape photography while on a work trip. On this particular day I found myself with some time to myself, and I chose to use that to explore some of BC.
This photo was from upper arrow lake near Revelstoke. Driving through the mountains you could find tons of beautiful warm light peeking through the clouds and over the peaks. I happened to find a spot with some interesting foreground to offset the powerful mountains and cloud formations in the background. I really liked the balance between the small foreground rock versus the towering mountain showered in golden light.

The Arrow Lakes in British Columbia, Canada, divided into Upper Arrow Lake and Lower Arrow Lake, are widenings of the Columbia River. The lakes are situated between the Selkirk Mountains to the east and the Monashee Mountains to the west. Beachland is fairly rare, and is interspersed with rocky headlands and steep cliffs. Mountain sides are heavily forested, and rise sharply to elevations around 2,600 metres.

Halcyon Hot Springs, originally Halcyon Hotsprings, also known simply as Halcyon, was a hot springs resort and spa located on the east side of Upper Arrow Lake, between Galena Bay and Nakusp, in the Kootenay Country of British Columbia, Canada. Halcyon Mountain nearby to the northeast derives its name from the resort.

Personally I think these lights are aliens.... the fog was so thick that night you cant even tell there are mountains behind those clouds! And we only have 1 landing strip in Nakusp..... also who would be flying out at night that low with no emergencies in the area? Nakusp is beautiful, but its weird and weird things happen there.

Brouse - Flag station and settlement on the Kaslo-Nakusp branch of the CPR, 5.3 miles east of Nakusp.
Brouse - This farming community south of Nakusp was named for Dr. Jacob Edwin Brouse (1868-1925), medical officer for the Nakusp and Slocan Railway. According to Kate Johnson in Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes, “The nearest doctor was Dr. Brouse of New Denver, who would so often be called in time of sickness or accident and as the residents heard the train stop at a certain center, they would invariably say ‘Here is Dr. Brouse.’ Through the efforts of Mr. Cameron, the KP members and Masonic members, the name Brouse was chosen instead of Box Lake.” (The school district, however, was called Box Lake from 1909-44 until it amalgamated with Nakusp). In Port of Nakusp, Milt Parent clarifies that James Cameron and Jim Morrison chose the name.

At 7880 feet above sea level, Arrow Lake doesn't have the extreme altitudes like some of Oregon's mountainous peaks, but it more than makes up for it with placid scenes like this. It takes my psyche to new heights.
