BTW Steve, where's that tree on the island in Maligne Lake.

Every pic of ML I've ever seen has a dead tree on the island, near the main shore of the lake.

I've always wanted to chop it down.... looks like mother nature beat me to it!:D

I'm not sure where the tree went I'll look through all the rejects tomorrow and see if I can find it in any of them. ;)

Just to be sure we are talking about Spirit Island, right?:)

Absolutely stunning photos, Iain! :thumbsup:

Here are a couple of photos from another area of BC... the Okanagan Valley.

Taken in Lake Country (Winfield)

Thanks Nessie! (and everyone else). Keep 'em coming!

I love the Okanagan region, here's a couple of shots of the lake from a different angle.

Malign lake? Here's some shots of Moraine Lake, down the road.

Or, should I say, down the Icefields Parkway!

When I can, it's a great hobby to have around these parts :)

There's thousands of kilometers of gravel and forestry roads round the Calgary area. That's why I put dual sport tyres on my Bonnie and raised the suspension.

It makes for a great ride in a truly outstanding area of natural beauty!

OK ok!! now I gotta set off for work in rush hour traffic!! thanks. :mad:;)

Thanks guys for all your gorgeous pics, especially loved all the snow ones & the Cranbrook pics! I can't wait to get out to Fernie, only 6 months and 23 days to go, the pics make the wait worthwhile!

Fernie is a great place. You're going to love it :thumbup:

A couple more for the road......

Bad news I'm afraid. :(

Looks like the tree is still there. :thumbdown: Or is that another tree?
