Location Taken: Skihist Provincial Park, British Columbia
Time Taken: June 2010
I’m running short on time since the Renn Fest is starting up again today, so I can’t write a research-heavy post. So a sunset photo it is.
Sunset photos often turn out very well, thanks to the high contrasts in lighting. Add in fascinating clouds and lovely scenery and it just all comes together.
This was at a tiny provincial park wedged between the mountain and the Fraser River, literally cut in half by the Trans-Canada Highway. We only stopped there for the camping. It was one of the prettiest campgrounds we encountered that trip, and that’s with stiff competition.
I actually like State Parks (or Provincial Parks in Canada) a bit more than National Parks. The National Parks may have large areas of fascinating areas, but the State Parks have small spots of very interesting things. They’re just as good as the big parks, but can be easily explored and are almost always not very crowded. And a lot of them have rather good camping.
Though the camping is often a bit more full than you’d expect. There’s a bunch of people who just go to a State Park, buy a season pass, and just live there for months.
…Which actually sounds really appealing, when I think about it.
