The story behind the image
Our three week trip to British Columbia and Alberta was slowly nearing its end. For one more night we’d be staying outside of Vancouver. In Clinton we took Highway 99 all the way down to Squamish where we intended to stay. The drive was about four hours net, i.e. without stops. But we stopped often to admire the vast beauty of the region, e.g. at Lake Seton, at Duffey Lake, and at the Lower Joffre Lake pictured above.
The lake sits right next to the highway, and we were utterly surprised to find this jewel after a (very) short walk through the forest. It was almost as if British Columbia whispered to us: “Don’t go just yet! There’s so much more to experience here! please stay! Stay! You know you want to.”
Yes, yes, but sadly we had to move on because our flights were booked. 🙂
