Click on the above photo for a larger view This photo might not be the most interesting or best technical etc, but I thought it would be neat to show people how the Venetian, in Las Vegas, has a canal that winds its way through it. You can even take a Gondola ride, which I am sure can be a romantic thing to do. Granted, the Venice canals would be more … Continue Reading »
Click on the above photo for a larger view Along our trip from Japser, Alberta to Banff, Alberta, we stopped off at Peyto Lake. This large, turquoise coloured lake is fed from a nearby glacier (off camera left). The colour of the water is from the silt that is deposited into the lake. When the sunlit hit the silt particles at a particular angle, the unrealistic colour is produced. The above photo … Continue Reading »
Click on the photo to see a larger version within this page. I haven't done a stitch in a while, but I wanted to post something on the sunny side of things. The weather here in Vancouver is a bit wet (when isn't it?) so I thought perhaps a sunny scene might help brighten up your day! The above photo is approximately 10 photos shot from left to right and then stitched … Continue Reading »
It looks like I have been missing in action lately as there hasn't been many updates here. Well, I can assure you I am still around, just have been busy and also trying to take it easy during my winter break from school. I have 1 more term to go and then I can go back out into the work force, which I miss quite a bit actually. One of the … Continue Reading »
On our second day, we woke up with grey clouds handing over Lac La Hache. As we were taking out camp down, it did start to rain a little bit. You could hear the campers next to us curse the rain as we finished up and headed to our next destination; Clearwater, BC. From Lac La Hache we drove though 100 Mile, where we picked up a new axe and had … Continue Reading »
Moraine Lake in Banff National Park just outside of Lake Louise Alberta. As iconic as Lake Louise is to people, I prefer Moraine Lake. Mainly because it was not as "touristy" as Lake Louise was. If you get up early enough (like Robyn and I did) you can catch the sun cresting over the mountains and lighting the mountains you see in the photo. The morning sun brings out the colours … Continue Reading »
In a previous post, I recapped our little road trip through BC towards the Rockies that are part of the Jasper and Banff National Park. Now, I will try and recall our adventures on a day-by-day basis. Starting Off In Horseshoe Bay, Destination: Lac La Hache After an awesome family BBQ the night before, where my little sister told us the wonderful news of being engaged (Congrats again Katie and Kris!), our … Continue Reading »
I recently finished my last week of my Co-op position at Wardrop Engineering Inc. which means that I had a few days before school started back up. For those following along, I'll be going into my 2nd year at BCIT in their Computer Systems Technology (CST) program. With a few days available for vacation, Robyn and I decided to do a road trip through BC and into Alberta to visit … Continue Reading »
On the way to work today, I walked past the BC Ferries Vacations front-end store. It's located in the Fairmont Pacific Rim across from Canada Place and the new Vancouver Convention Centre. It had me day dreaming of travling around Vancouver Island area and some of their deals aren't half bad. Like the 2-nights at Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet for ~$250, which also includes the ferry thre ban back. … Continue Reading »
See, I told you I would eventually get around to uploading some non-iPhone photos. This one is of the Devil's Punch Bowl on the coast of Oregon just off of Route 101 south of Depoe Bay. When the tide is high, the ocean water shoots out of the large crater-type hole you see on the right side. Though, as you can see from the photo, the tide was not high enough … Continue Reading »
