My husband is a long haul trucker and this weekend I went with him from here in the Vancouver area, north to Prince George which is about 800KM away. We didn't leave the truck much, but I took some high speed photos. Some of the photos aren't of the best quality, but we were travelling at 100KM/hour most the time, so it was hard to keep the camera still and focused.
These were taken on our way up to Prince George. We drove in the dark a lot, so I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked.
First an old church:
An old farm building, I think a stable:
Hay fields:
Farm:
Some scenery:
Now for some bad, this is what the pine beetle is doing to our forests. All of the red trees are dead:
Unfortunately, most of the green trees will probably be dead by next year. It is impossible to tell what green tree is infested, the pinebeetle goes in cycles, one year laying eggs in a green tree, the next year hatching and cutting off the nutrient supply to the tree, turning it red. The next year the tree turns grey and all the needles fall off.
These are from the drive back
Sunrise over the mountains:
More mountains:
Either there was a thunderstorm that sparked some forest fires, or there was some controlled burning going on. On the way up we saw a brush burning, with about 20 firefighters watching it. This is what we saw on the way back:
River rapids:
Train tunnel:
A farm just outside Vancouver:
I wish I had gotten more pics. Hopefully I will be able to go with him again sometime soon. Thanks for looking.
