I may have posted the view from our deck before, but it was a dull day: this is much nicer.
(I will have to play with the new Digi-cam I got for a bit, to get exposure-settings down.... this is a bit over.)



btw - the large property in the right-hand pic is "Frank's" (forgot his last name). He had a lumber/sawmill business N/W of here, sold about ten years back. Real nice guy - seems to have done "okay" in his business - the two story building slightly to the right is the Guest House/RV storage! The 5th in the field is a friends, not his.

Across the river, 1/3 from the right in a light-tan, is the southern BC Liquor Board distribution warehouse, next (left) is likewise for Detroit-Allison (the owner Roger Penske stops in every year, so I am told), two small blue blobs are a large Propane distribution center (the BIG trucks!). The building with two dark rectangles is a large cattle-auction site.... haven't heard a "moo" there for over two years, since the US Beef-Ban.

Then is some shop, toward the left, forget who it is... and the wide "white" stuff along the river, is a truck/rail reload yard for Lumber - used to have an afternoon shift, but not for a couple years now.... same reason as the beef-ban; US softwood lumber tariffs. I don't know how many more "Franks" we will have, until it's resolved.

Hope this helps explain to American members, why the odd Canadian is a bit "testy" about trade relations with our neighbours these days. It has a bit more meaning when you SEE the results EVERY DAY....

Hey I know where that is, that's close to the wildlife park. I used to live near there.

Thats some deck, do you live in the middle of nowhere?

He lives in the Okanogan, near Penticton Kelowna or Summerland.

Holy crap. That is one beautiful view.

Now, thats a "mental fart" if I ever saw one, Stellar.... not only did you SPELL IT WRONG (Its "OkanAgan - all "a"s), but you have included KELOWNA with other places that people might actually want to live in!


KELOWNA BITES LIKE DRACULA!


It's a little-know fact that 62% of the people who live in Kelowna never intended to...... they were with their parents on vacation, and by the time they finally got to the Bridge, they were RETIRED! So, SCREW IT!



Kelowna - what a great place They think they are "Victoria-Lite" ..... a hundred thousand Latte'-slurping, BMW-driving, sandals-with-black-socks, Tim Hortons "Double-Double"s (or what-EVER the Hell they are), snobby "investment-counselors".....

Sure, I trust them - like a rock floats.



Moved outside Vernon in 1971 - hated Kelowna then, - hate it now.


"Preppies" they were called back then.... D.I.N.K.s later.... a waste of time, as of late.

Ah well, least the Kelowna Rockets are a decent hockey team...

anyway...that's a nice view

Beautiful scene.I have passed through Kamloops on my way to and from Kelowna.It seems like a very nice place.
