23 Beautiful Back Alley Mural Paintings Kamloops British Columbia (23 - Pictures)


Above Photo: Just one of the amazing Back Alley Mural Paintings that is found in 
Kamloops, British Columbia.

During our visit with family in Kamloops, British Columbia, my daughter drove me to a back alley in the downtown area. I did wonder where she was taking me, but it soon became very clear as I my face lit up. All of the buildings along this back alley had beautiful murals painted on them by some very clever people. 

The back alley murals are amazing and when visiting Kamloops, B.C. make sure you take time to visit this wonderful work of art.

Mural Paintings In Prince George British Columbia (4 – Pictures)


Above Photo: One of the many Mural Paintings found in Prince George, British Columbia.

For our family and so many others, Prince George is a great place to spend your holidays. There are a lot of awesome lakes and camping spots available in the summer months, and there are excellent places to ski and snowboard. Prince George really has everything you can imagine, as it is a large city. 

In the summer of 2016 we plan on spending some time in Prince George as it is rich in history and so very scenic. So I can’t wait to dig around to see what I might find and bring to my visitors.

Mural Paintings In 100 Mile House British Columbia (2 Pictures)


Above Photo: Parkside Art Gallery website is: http://www.parksideartgallery.ca/

The District of 100 Mile House has always been a special place for me. When I was a lot younger, I along with friends would drive to 100 Mile House to go fishing, hiking, etc. 

On one of those trips I ended up at Montana Lake Resort which was owned by a fellow who resided in from Vancouver, B.C. and was owner of a mill.

Mural Paintings In Burns Lake British Columbia (Pictures)


Above Photo: Bull Moose and Fisherman.

I am really glad I decided to film the mural paintings that I find in towns across British Columbia. In each of the paintings, they illustrate some of the history of a town, or what can be found in and around each area, such as the wildlife, in this case two Moose. 

In this same mural, you see a fisherman who has hooked into a good fighting fish. In and around Burns Lake there are approximately 20 lakes close to the town, and around 300 lakes in the district. All of the lakes have fish in them.

In the other mural it shows a First Nations person with a fire, but more than that, it shows that the First Nations People had settled throughout the area so long ago.

So I will certainly keep taking pictures to shed a little light on what communities have to offer.
