The reason for the name ‘Cathedral Grove’ becomes immediately obvious only a few minutes into visiting. Soaring towards the sky, these huge trees form their own beautiful cathedral of nature.
Featuring a magnificent temperate rainforest with enormous 800 year old trees, a carpet of ferns and draping moss, Cathedral Grove is an essential stop on any Vancouver Island road trip.
Officially known as MacMillan Provincial Park, the trees in Cathedral Grove are amongst the oldest and tallest in Canada.
It’s a humbling experience to stand next to these incredibly tall and gnarled tree trunks, some as wide as a car. The tree canopy is up to 80 metres high in places, with the sky a distant proposition. As you walk through the forest, beams of sunlight filter through the branches above, illuminating so many layers of green.
This incredible forest filled with Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, Grand fir and Western Red Cedar trees is the most easily accessible grove of old growth on Vancouver Island. (offtracktravel.ca)

Passage dans la fameuse courbe d'Artemare du traditionnel Eurostar 9094 reliant Bourg-Saint-Maurice à Londres Saint-Pancras les samedis d'hiver.
Les rames TMST au son caractéristique que l'on entendait ronronner au loin bien avant de les voir, et qui assuraient cette relation depuis ses débuts en 1997, ont été remplacées par les rames Vélaro en 2020.
Pour la saison d'hiver 2022/2023 le parcours de l'Eurostar 9094 a changé, il est passé par la ligne à voie unique de Saint-André-le-Gaz alors qu'il a circulé pendant des années (voir toujours) en passant par Culoz.

...at the British Bird of Prey Centre, Carmarthenshire. As part of the flying display, the birds take off and land in amongst the crowd, so one can get an idea of their size and beauty at close hand, as well as understanding how quiet they are in flight. The one flew past about 1.5 metres away!
Snowy Owls are nomadic, migratory birds to the UK, and are more likely to be seen during very cold spells in winter in the north of Scotland.

The sun was waning as the lights came on at this impressive Provincial government center.
"The purpose of the buildings is to serve as the seat of B.C.’s provincial government. It is here that important decisions are made regarding the province on matters such as health, education, transportation, and housing.
The Parliament Buildings are located on the banks of the Inner Harbour in British Columbia’s capital city, Victoria. As one of the dominant features of the downtown core, B.C.’s government buildings are one of Victoria’s must-see sights, teeming with history and culture. They reside on 12.5 acres of lush property. The Empress Hotel is nearby.
Staying in the area until sun sets is highly recommended. The Parliament Buildings will eventually light up with approximately 3500 energy efficient lightbulbs, highlighting the striking outline of the structure, and making for a great photo opportunity.
Incredibly, the original idea for the lightbulbs was first brought to life in 1897 when the buildings were first completed. This was a time when electricity was still a novel phenomenon. While fewer than there are today, the lightbulbs were strung in honour of Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee, as they were supposed to look like diamonds shining brightly in the darkness. The idea was brought back in the 1960s, and since then, the buildings have been lit every single evening at dusk." victoriabc.ca

The mighty Rockies around Edelweiss, Golden BC area. These are shots i never got around to posting from our trip to Golden a couple of years ago - right now it's cold and wet and cloudy - so it's not a good time for photoshopping.
