UNPLUGGED FLICKR PICKR: Lindeman Lake

Lindeman Lake at Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park

(Click for Map) 

There truly is no more effective way to Unplug than to get deep into the woods, nestle amongst the pine needles, leaves, rocks, roots and creepy crawlers on the ground, take a deep, fragrant breath and get lost in the awesome of what I like to call upsidedown vertigo. You can even stick your legs straight up in the air and pretend that you're walking in the tree tops.

Jayme had the opportunity to get the worms-eye-view recently at Lindeman Lake in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park and I love the resulting photograph...there's no such thing as too much fish-eye and this image is just so crisp and clear (check it out BIG) that we can really get a sense of what it felt like to lay at the feet of these majestic trees. Check out more of Jayme's work here and learn more about this stunning region here and here.

		LOCATION:

It's our awesome city's 125th birthday and Summer Live is happening outside at Stanley Park all weekend in celebration. This is a free event with tonnes of amazing goings on...here's a link to the festival schedule and the Vancouver125 website . Get out there, make some great photos and get them in the pool for next week's Flickr Pickr!

There was a lot of amazing photography in the pool this week folks, please keep posting and spreading the word about the Unplugged Flickr Pickr.

If you'd like to see your outdoor photos featured at VIA, submit them to our V.I.A. UNPLUGGED Flickr pool.

UNPLUGGED is a state of mind.

It’s that point in your consciousness where you can feel at one with nature, escaping the trappings of the day-to-day to an almost dream-like place where nothing else seems to exist besides you and your natural surroundings. It is our opinion here at VIA that Vancouver holds a unique place in the civilized world in that reaching this state often requires no more effort than simply pulling off to the side of the road, pocketing your keys and taking a few steps into the forest
