Whistler Sunset

Whistler Sunset

It’s very hard to do the sunsets over Whistler Mountain any justice with our rather woeful camera skills.

We’ve tried our best with this view from our balcony, just as the sun disappears behind a distant mountain. It’s not perfect as it took a bit of fiddling with afterwards to bring some of the foreground details out, but it’ll do.

This area of Canada is on virtually the same latitude as the UK, so the days are the same length, though the light always fades a little earlier up here due to the mountains.

Alta Lake

Alta Lake

Alta Lake is one of three that surround Whistler Mountain.

The walk around it is absolutely beautiful, with crystal clear water and clean fresh air, as well as stunning views. Some of the homes built around the lake made us green with envy! Most of them run into a few million dollars though.

Kel took some really great pictures.
