Williams Lake To Prince George British Columbia Old Buildings Along Highway 97 (Pictures)


Above Photo: Between Williams Lake and Prince George, British Columbia along Highway 97.

Continuing on from our last trip south to Kamloops and then onto Langley, British Columbia in November 2015 we spotted a lot more older buildings. There was a good number of sites I was not able to stop at, as we wanted to get home before it got dark and I still had a long way to travel.

I did manage to take some pictures of a number of other buildings, the ones posted here, and a couple of others along Highway 97. I also stopped and spent some time at a rest stop and I took a stack of photos of the 108 Mile House heritage site.

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.

Buildings Filmed Between Houston And Burns Lake British Columbia (Pictures)


Above Photo: I don’t believe the buildings are very old, but they looked really interesting and made for a nice picture.

We always try to keep a lookout for something nice to film. On one of our recent drives out to Burns Lake, British Columbia we spotted some buildings in an open field. 

They looked interesting so I stopped the car and walked into the field and took a number of pictures.

The Bulkley River Around Houston British Columbia (9 Pictures/ 2 Video Clips)


Above Photo: Beaver dam down stream on the The Bulkley River.

As many might notice, the Bulkley River is one of my favorite places in and around Houston, British Columbia to be. No matter what part of the Bulkley river I visit, the beauty is breath taking. 

So today, on October 30, 2015 my wife and I made another visit to the Bulkley river as the beavers are damming up the river in a couple of different spots, and I was hoping we might get some pictures of the fury little critter, but today we certainly heard the beaver splashing around up river, but never seem it.
