UNPLUGGED: #4 ALICE LAKE

PLACE: Alice Lake Provincial Park (CLICK FOR MAP) LOCATION: Brackendale, B.C. "A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." -Henry David Thoreau, Walden

One of the benefits I receive from the act of shooting UNPLUGGED for VIA is the near-meditative healing qualities these locales have on my being. Interestingly, this is actually a reflection on how I see Vancouver and her residents in general. We work extremely hard at being creative, productive, unique individuals during the week and as a result often escape to all of what our beautiful natural surroundings have to offer on the weekends. Our environment affords us a healthy escape from the hyper-productivity of the work week and an opportunity reflect, reset and recharge.

As a location for reflective contemplation - or a family camping trip, great hiking and some fly fishing for that matter - Alice Lake Provincial Park is certainly a place that helps to make Vancouver Awesome!

Until next time...Happy Trails!
