Clouds Float in My Eyes - a photo on Flickriver

            At sunrise the sky of Garibaldi Lake was mostly blue, but as morning progressed patchy clouds appeared everywhere and were reflected in the beautiful water of the enormous lake.  Early morning light filtered through gaps in the clouds help create this beautiful grand landscape.

The surface area of Garibaldi Lake is 2,460 acres.  By way of comparison Snow Lake close to Snoqualmie Pass and another very large lake is only 153 acres.  The lake was born when Mt. Price and Clinter, the somewhat reddish peaks pictured on right, erupted forming a large lava dam 980 feet in thickness which coincidently is also about the depth of the lake.  In this image you can see some of the loose lava rock from this dam around the shoreline of the lake.

A quest for new horizons has brought me here.  Freed from any preconceptions of what this place may be like, I was able to experience this area with more like the eyes of a child.  In fact, in BC I am more like a kid in a Candy Store!  So many new places and adventures in the roads and trails ahead!  This will not come at the expense of my beloved Washington-I also love returning to the intimately familiar.  Nature knows no boundaries.  The US Canadian border is an invention of the political mind of humans, not something that originated organically through the actions of nature!
