I went out to shoot star trails and decided to try a pano as well. Luckily for me the Milky Way was arching just over the valley in the direction I was shooting. I love the constellations Orion's Belt and the Pleides and both of these were visible with the Milky Way along with what I think is the Andromeda Galaxy. I hope some of you knowledgeable astro photographers our there can enlighten me. I know next to nothing about the stars except that I love them and want to learn more :-)
I took this picture with my GoPro. This is probably one of my favourite waterfalls I have ever seen in person.

Downtown Atlin was a looking a little wet after a long hard rain. The old buildings and the boardwalks were thoroughly soaked.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro, hand held. All post processing was performed in DxO PhotoLab 5.3.x.
Creative Note: As with all my photos, unless otherwise stated, nothing has been removed or added to the image. I never replace elements such as the sky or other objects in the composition. What you see is as near as possible to what I saw. For me, the challenge is finding the beauty that already exists in the world. Some images may be cropped or straightened somewhat in post, and I do tweak the light and exposure to reflect the memory in my mind's eye.
This falls is an ever changing waterfall, depending on where you are standing along with the quickly changing light.
This is from the very bottom of the falls looking straight up - still a little bit of mist to take care of on the lens to capture the image :)

A friendly race from the peak between our helicopter pilot and two skiers. who'll win?
Vetter Creek flows above and under the lava fields in Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park. Nass Valley, BC
There were several "falls" as the water flow is very high at this time, making its way through the trees and anywhere it found a path.
Taken in Northern British Columbia near the small town of Terrace. Wonderful sunset on the sizable Kalum Lake. Please favourite and leave me a comment if you enjoy this photo!
I was going through some older photos that I hadn't posted yet and found this one. I posted a similar one a few ago.
Thanks in advance for any and all comments.

This photo was taken from the edge of Atlin Lake which is the largest natural lake in British Columbia and a part of what we in Yukon refer to as the "southern lakes," Atlin, Tagish, and Marsh being the three that come immediately to mind. All are large impressive wilderness lakes bordered by mountains, and hills. All are large enough to contain many islands both big and small. I took this photo looking across Atlin Lake towards, Atlin Mountain. What you can see here is just a very small part of a much bigger body of water that stretches for many miles to both the right and left--too far to see either end.
This photo was taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro. Raw conversion and post processing were performed in DxO PhotoLab 5.3.
The little town of Atlin in northern British Columbia is definitely my favourite place. It's a scenic little community that preserves much of what was great about the past. Not only are the buildings representative of an aesthetic more akin to the 1890s than today, but the town is located on the largest natural lake in British Columbia, and frankly that is saying something!. Then, there are the people. Atlin is a place where there are no cellphone services and you can still leave doors unlocked. Finally, did I mention the natural beauty?! Well, just take a look at this. It really doesn't matter where you are in Atlin, it's gorgeous!

Salmon Glacier
The 5th largest glacier in North America and the world’s largest road accessible glacier is a remnant of that last great age of glaciers; the Fraser Glaciation period.
Located just north of Stewart and only accessible by driving through Hyder, Alaska. You will drive through Hyder at sea level and then the road quickly climbs and heads back into B.C. The road was originally built for Granduc Mines. There are several gold mines along the route, some long ago shut down with others going full tilt.
Driving through remnants of avalanches and slides from the latest storm, it is not a road for the faint of heart. Shear cliffs down one side that are not forgiving if such an accident were to happen to put you over the edge.
Going from the first view point of the glacier, known as the ‘toe of the glacier’ to the summit viewpoint at 3370 ft the landscape drastically changes. The trees at the summit are of the alpine variety, very stunted and unusual growth. And of course snow drifts and hundreds of waterfalls. Absolutely stunning surroundings the whole 37km drive.
I'm waiting to go back to work on Sunday to a new small town to take new pictures and upload hem for all to enjoy but in the mean time I'll just post some older pictures I have taken. It's hard to take pictures all the time when I live in the same spot.
Upper Exstew Falls - Prince Rupert Highway, Highway 16
The mist was so think that you had to be quick to capture the photo and not have the lens get all wet.
Was a very muddy climb up to this portion of the falls - but so worth it!
This photo was taken very early in the morning on a lonely stretch of raod between Dawson Creek and Rolla in northeastern British Columbia. The sky was beautiful and except for the ocasional farm truck or big rig, the world was quiet. Fortunately, the natural world was also gorgeous! The sun was beginning to light the eastern sky and some of that light was illuminating the fields of Canola.

Three Canada geese swim away as I approached the water at Brewery Bay in Atlin. The community of Atlin is located in northern British Columbia, just south of the BC and Yukon border. It is, without a doubt, my favorite place to go for a day or two away from the hustle and bustle of Whitehorse, one of Canada's fastest growing cities, and the capitol of the Yukon Territory. This time of the year, geese are not an uncommon sight in Atlin.

There is a narrow road leading south out of Atlin in Northern BC. It’s a road almost entirely bordered by forest, and lakes with a few homes thrown in for good measure, but the treasure most traveling the Warm Bay Road are seeking is probably the Atlin Warm Springs, the Grotto, or Warm Bay itself. Fortunately, all three are fairly close to one another near the end of the road before it turns into a cart track of sorts.
The warm spring was my goal on this outing. Here you can find a natural warm spring and this meadow. Everywhere through the field (pictured) are rivulets of warm water leading out from the spring. It's a place alive with all manner of plant, animal, and water life. The stream off to my left is one of several and it is full of watercress and flowers.
The area of the Atlin Warm Springs is certainly a biologist’s or naturalist’s dream and on this occasion I met two biologists from the British Columbia Government’s Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship. Purnima (frog and toad specialist) and Jennifer (invertebrate specialist) were up to their knees in the warm springs looking for an elusive snail and wondering about where the frogs had gone? We had an interesting chat before I moved on to do what I love best-- taking a few photos of nature’s glory. If you are ever visiting the warm springs and come across a frog, or any other rare plant or animal, give the BC government a call and let them know. Protecting nature means understanding it and that begins with observation.

The beaches on The Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii are so beautiful - anywhere you stop along the coast there is access somewhere to the beach. It may be sand and rocks/pebbles or sometimes both. The levels of the tides are so large compared to Vancouver Island, you could walk out for some distance and always find an interesting tide pool or these 'polished' rocks before the incoming tide started to push you into shore.
Just a peak around the bridges showing the mountain range along the Skeena River. The beautiful greens of the river showing the mountain reflections.
A very popular fishing river in the northwest.

I took this photo last year on the Warm Bay Road near Atlin in Northern British Columbia. It is absolutely my favorite place. Looking at this beautiful view and the sunset colours can offer at least a couple reasons why.

Another moment of awe in the Skeena mountains, witnessing the dusk of another day after some legendary rides.
