We live in the last house on a steep, rural, dirt road. I almost always turn downhill and head into the civilized world. Yesterday we jumped into our little Jeep YJ and headed up the rough road. We drove up through deep, cedar forest until we popped out on top. Alpine meadows and dense woods surrounded us. Driving further we came to amazing views of Kootenay Lake and the Valhallas. It is spectacular country that we live in. Up top there was not a sound to be heard....absolute silence.....it was a perfect day.....close to home....

Great photos from close to home- there is not much I don't love about BC, except for winter-
After living in Toronto for most of my life- then moving to the Caribbean for a few years- it was our goal to settle somewhere beautiful with mild winters-
I love your mountains! Have a good week!
What a gorgeous "home grown" view. Too bad you have to suffer through the beauty huh?
I am glad you like Jaz's idea of the stacked glass for a totem or tower. I can hard'y wait to see what your take is on it. I just love to see different "interpretations" of the same project. Hope you'll let me see.

Breathtaking... This is a part of the world i have not visited, but it's in the plans for next summer.
There is something special about a dirt road lined by trees...with wildflowers filling in gaps. Thanks for sharing a piece of your world...
