Located just ten minutes from our new home, Mahoney Lake is pretty unique. It is a meromictic saline lake whose surrounding rocks, flora, and fauna have been made into an official ecological reserve to help preserve them. While enjoying the peaceful setting I stumbled upon this cairn made out of colorful rocks. This lake, under the right circumstances, turns completely purple. I plan to return in the future to capture that.
I drove to Kaleden to take a photo of the historic hotel. While there, the view from a nearby bistro caught my eye. I find it very European looking.
The #TowerOfLondon, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic #castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. The extensive #CrownJewels of the Royal Family are located inside of a large vault located within the walls of this castle! 🏰

I find Willow trees to be some of the most magnificent trees in existence. It's a shame that I must admire them from a certain distance due to allergies.
Today the sky was very hazy. It made for an atmospheric mood at sunset. Particularly, with a lonely duck peacefully cruising through it. Shot with my phone.
✰ This photo was featured on The Epic Global Showcase here: bit.ly/1WIhgaY ------------- The Andenes Lighthouse - built in 1859, the year of the great Carrington Event solar storm. Earlier that day in Kvalvika, Lofoten we knew that there is a big solar storm predicted for that night. We also saw that the weather forecast was really bad for the whole Lofoten. So after intense investigations we ended up choosing an island above Lofoten called Andøya as our destination. That was some 250km away which is something like 4 hours along the Norwegian fjords. Of course we had to check pictures of Andøya from the web and the first and pretty much only things that came up were this lighthouse and the fact that it’s a hot spot for whale watching! So this lighthouse at the very northern tip of the island was our target. When we got to Andøya it was still clear there and the aurora show got off immediately after the sunset - a G2-class storm, the kind of which I had never seen before! After stopping numerous times on different spots to shoot and driving under the most insane northern lights we finally got to our lighthouse at 3 in the morning and we watched the auroras dance until the sun came up! It was definitely worth the intense forecast and map reading! When we were checking the weather forecast earlier in Lofoten it didn’t seem like we would have clear skies anywhere after 1-2am! Andøya seemed like the only plausible option nearby..and it turned out much better! The last night of our photo-roadtrip with @damonstah - A night that I will never forget! @northernnorway #ilovenorway #visitnorway #wunorway #igscandinavia #ig_nordnorge #wonderful_places #bestplacestogo #travelawewome #awesomeearth #amazinglongexpo #fantastic_earth #artofvisuals #bestofnorway #awesome_earthpix #awesomeglobe #nightimages #nikonphotographers #nikoneurope #nightphotography #night_shooterz #longexposhots #longexpoelite #nature_perfection #superhubs #nature_brilliance #exklusive_shot #earthpix #global_hotshotz #nakedplanet #fantastic_earth #worldbestgram by @mpxmark on Instagram.

On our way back from Vernon, we stopped to admire Kalamalka Lake and the Coldstream Valley off the highway. In my opinion, it's the most stunning lake in the Okanagan, and we have quite a few beautiful ones. Shot with my iPhone.
The crazy weather continues. With such a wet Spring the mosquitos are out in full force. I literally took this photo and a couple more, before rushing back to the car. Tomorrow, I'm buying a case of bug spray.
On day 74, I took a photo of a large barn that used to belong to local judge John Carmichael Haynes in the late 1800s. Today I went back to the same location for a nearby building that is part of that same heritage ranch. This one is in even rougher shape, unfortunately, but thankfully we can still enjoy it and imagine what it might have been like back in the day.

Our brains are always looking for patterns. When I saw this group of rocks in Skaha Lake, my mind thought they looked a bit like a dragon. The long exposure helped by almost adding a flame-like effect in front of its "mouth".
I took a nice Saturday afternoon drive through the hills of the Okanagan. This spot above Cawston offered a beautiful contrast of colors. Namely, the yellow deserty hills, the green wineries down the valley, the dark green mountains, and the patch of burnt vegetation mid-frame.
Peach Cliff is a highly photogenic cliff that rises above Okanagan Falls. I'm told it's a gorgeous hike whose trail head just happens to be located on part of our street. In fact, this mountain acts as a backdrop for our new home. She is beautiful. She stands tall. She shelters, almost looking out for us. She reminds me of the many wonderful women in my life. On International Women's Day, I thank them - and all other women - for the ability to be so beautiful and awe inspiring in countless ways.
The title is a bit tongue in cheek, considering that the S.S. Sicamous is a permanently docked sternwheeler.
The squirrels in #NiagaraFallsStatePark are extremely active in their daily foraging activities. This #squirrel is just eating some nuts in a tree while we had another one steal some Cheez-It's right out of the box along with a knife covered in Peanut Butter. The mighty #NiagaraFalls is a spectacular #waterfall to see as are these squirrels!

This has been the weirdest month, weather wise. I hope summer will bring us much more sunshine, even if it comes at the cost of these dramatic skies. I shot this picture with my iPhone because we were out and about without my camera until late. We went to Kelowna to get a treadmill. I don't have a gym nearby, so this is actually a much more convenient and economical way to go about getting some steps in.

Kenny McLean was a legend in the world of rodeo. He was from Okanagan Falls. When he died in 2002, they erected this statue in his honor at Centennial Park.

This iconic Penticton statue is called ROMP and depicts three children playing in the water. Due to the recent Okanagan flooding, the water levels in Okanagan Lake are some of the highest they've ever been, increasingly submerging the statue.
The story, as I've heard it, is that a child was walking by with their father and they were concerned that the children depicted in the statue would "drown". So the father spoke to the local marina and received three life jackets for the statue kids.
Now the kids are safe.
I often find myself on this back road that leads to the local observatory. The whole drive has remarkable landscapes.
#BigBen is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the #PalaceOfWestminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.

I went out to grab a coffee and was greeted by an incredible sight. An unprecedented amount of foamy fog over Skaha Lake. I didn't have my camera with me, so I capture it with my iPhone. Special thanks to the bird who decided to fly just at the right time. 😊
