Today Joanne, Aisling and I completed the most difficult hike I've ever done. 23 km through the roughest terrain one can imagine in Newfoundland. It took 9 hours of hiking time.
But the reward was the famous Spout - a river channel that turns into a geyser with every single wave that rolls into the coast. It spouts 4-5 times a minute.
On Wayne, AB: another picturesque town that I passed by last weekend on the east side of Alberta is Meeting Creek between Ohaton and Stettler off Highway 56. Ultimate prairie town in a green valley with a burbling Meeting Creek beside it. I wasn't driving so we didn't stay to take a picture but if you're in the area, keep your eyes out.
I met a middle age gentle man in Penticton in a photography workshop few months ago and I was really inspired by his work. he is an Astrophotographer (galaxy and star photographer). I was learning Astrophotgraphy from few months but was never able to take a nice shot and today I nailed it, here is one I want to share with you guys. last time I posted one and I was said something like this is not a B.C. landscape. very kind and nice of the Moderator that he let the picture slip in the forum. so this time I made sure that I get some trees in the picture as well.
Speaking of beautiful small towns, Revelstoke BC is friggin gorgeous. They even have an old domed building in the centre of their downtown. The population is about 7200, but it was founded in 1880.

I love Revelstoke. it is a wonderful town small town. I love the drive from Vernon to Revelstoke. it is soo peaceful you get to see so many beautiful lakes and three valley gap.
i was in Osoyoos (south Okanagan BC) over the long weekend and the landscape there is awesome. it felt like a cross between Arizona and tuscany. loved it. here's a couple pics
The Okanagan pics are so gorgeous. Yes Calgarian, the Okanagan has real sand beaches. See Gyro Beach in Kelowna and many many others, including the entire southern shore of Penticton along Lake Skaha. I miss the Okanagan. We were in the Shuswap camping all weekend, it was so great to be back in the interior
