othello tunnels.

The Othello Tunnels are near Hope, BC, which is east of Vancouver. They're a series of five tunnels and a series of bridges over the Coquihalla River that used to be for trains. Now decommissioned, they're walking paths that are open to the public…in the summer. When we went, there was so much snow that they'd been closed and gated off. Never being ones to be easily deterred, we hopped the fence (well…Jeff hopped the fence…he threw me over). It was well worth it, albeit a bit creepy with the chance of falling icicles and rocks above us as we carefully made our way through the tunnels. By the time we were making our way back out, it had started to snow, which made the walk back even that much more beautiful.

snowboarding at night.

After a few trips to our Neighbor to the North and then to Utah, snowboarding has quickly become a favorite past-time of mine. One of my favorite times to snowboard is as night. Despite the misery that sometimes is the biting cold with no sunshine to warm you on the ski lift, it's actually a pretty incredible time to be on the mountain. The way the flood lights hit the snow makes it easy to see all the bumps and groves in the snow, so you can see exactly what you're boarding over. This particular mountain, Cypress, is located in North Vancouver and provides a pretty rad view of the city when the clouds manage to get out of the way.

I love the way the slopes are lit up.

Poor Jeff, my lovely host and tour guide up in Canada…always having to stop and/or turn the car around so I can indulge my need to document the world around me. I think these photos prove it's worth it though. I couldn't choose just one…sorry.
