Tons of pictures, I'll try to cull it down to my favorite spots, can only do 10 per post.

I'll try and post them in order to give a sense of what it's like to drive across central BC in the winter.

Part I.

^ That is such beautiful, dramatic scenery! I liked the pictures of the chapel too.

^ You have my sympathy, Chiomara. I've also spent time in disappointing landscapes. Right across the planet, we seem determined to roll out some variation of the same uninspired, unambitious townscape. The attitude is always "It functions, so that's good enough." - and your photo made me think of this old children's toy

TBH an aerial view of chain stores and their signs is surprisingly cool.

Yeah; nobody cares about good architecture anymore! Only misery! When I'm mayor it's going to be all Byzantine opulence all the time. (Have you posted your town in this thread yet? It looks like a lot of you practically live in Narnia)

I loved those mats; I'd use them to stage pretend UFO attacks.

If it doesn't actually look like Byzantium then you can keep your ****ing hyperbole.

No, I was being 100% serious. BYZANTIUM OPULENCE ALL THE TIME.
(Imagine a byzantine cathedral turned into a library or disco club!)

^ Yeah, me too, to enliven my collection of Matchbox cars! Is that where a love of physical geography begins?

^ Well, it at least has the merit of looking colourful.

^ HaHa! Not Byzantine, but when I'm mayor, I'm gonna build this:-

Great pictures, EPOCH. I haven't been out to BC in years and you're making me want to visit again.

Uncovered a new map marker in Fallout 5: British Columbia over the weekend. An old railway cabin, no roads leading to it, had to cross an active railroad bridge to access it.

Spoiler for Pictures:

Imgur is ****ting the bed right now, going to have to wait for the site to wake up again before posting pictures of the inside.

Nothing in here for 3 months? Come on fellas, where have you been?

Here are some of the places I've been hiding over the last few weeks.
