1909 Brick Courthouse Located In Kamloops British Columbia (Heritage Building - 4 Pictures)


Above Photo: 1909 Brick Courthouse Kamloops, British Columbia.

As my wife and I continued our travels in November 2015 throughout British Columbia, our next stop was at my daughter’s home. It is always nice to be there visiting with my daughter, son-in-law and my two grandchildren.

Since we were in Kamloops, and knowing some of the history there, I figured this was a good time to check out some of their heritage sites.

At our first stop, it was the 1909 brick courthouse located at 7 Seymour Street West.

Irrigation Lake/Scenery And Old Building Filmed Around Houston British Columbia (Photos/Video)


Above Photo: The Bulkley River in Houston, British Columbia. Actually I took a picture from this very same spot in Summer. Here is a link to this. I also will post a winter photo from the same location as well.

My wife and I decided to get out of the home for a while and I thought I would take some new photos of the Fall colours that are present in our small town of Houston, British Columbia.

So we drove around Houston, and I snapped some photos of what we saw. 

We also headed out a short distance from Houston to a small lake, where in summer people flock to Irrigation Lake to go swimming, sunbathing, fishing, hiking and they take along a picnic basket for their lunch. You can also cook some hot-dogs and hamburgers over fire pits. There is a sandy beach for the little ones to make sandcastles, or just to dig a big hole to get lost in. There are toilets/outhouses on site, and change rooms.

Snowmobile Building Mural Houston British Columbia (Photo)


I have been running around town today and just noticed that there were three painted Murals on buildings that I had not seen before. Houston, B.C. is not a big town, and I must have driven by these hundreds of times and for some reason I never noticed them.

This mural shows a snowmobiler flying through the snow in our winter time.

Orange Object Seen Left Of The Empire State Building In Queens New York

 
Date:  December 2, 2011
Time:  Approx: 12:10 a.m.
 
From my window in Queens, NY, I can see the Empire State Bldg. While looking out the window a few minutes after midnight, there was a bright orange crescent to the left of the Empire State building. At first I thought it was the moon, but the moon isn't that low in the sky and not in the distance to the left of the bldg.
 
The crescent lowered in the sky and I could see a full orange circle. It moved on the right of the bldg. and then descended. This only lasted a few minutes. I've told a few members of my family and they think I'm a little crazy.
 
But I know what I saw. Did anyone in the NYC area see this also?

UFO Observed Above The Capitol Building In Boise Idaho

Date: January 1, 2011
Time: 3:45 a.m.

I was with three of my friends who looked out my city loft condo window and there appeared an orange glowing disc shaped UFO that we could clearly see was spinning from the bottom, but stayed stationary for at least 3 minutes.

What was so curious to me was that it triggered or set of an alarm at the capitol building and it was flashing a light as if some security alarm went off. As soon as the UFO disappeared, the strobe light from the capitol building stopped. The condo I live in is high enough to observe the north side of Boise.
