2004的夏天 - WCT/Banff/Rockies

这是份不知道迟到了多久的记忆 - 2004的夏天,在WCT,Banff 和Canadian Rockies的欢乐。当时我还在用胶片,以下个别照片是从冲洗的胶片翻拍的,效果不大好,各位请多包涵。其余的大都是好友Cathy和Judy所拍。

1.1 WCT (West Coast Trail)

Port Renfrew - West Coast Trail South Head

Do I look well prepared? To be honest, I am a bit nervous and anxious before hitting the trail on July 4th.

1.2 Banff/Rockies


Pedestrians Bridge in Kamloops

This is one of my favoriate photos from this trip. You know why? Do I look much slimmer here? Well, I just got out of the West Coast Trail. After 7 days exhausting trekking, it does make sense to lose a couple of pounds. Cathy shall take most of the credit. She was the photographer.


Relax in this lovely town - Kamloops


In front of the most spectacular Columbia Icefield



"SonCoach" tour on the Athabasca Glacier - once in your lifetime experience! It may be even more exciting if you take the trail trekking all the way up to the top of the glacier


Maligne Lake - it's said to be the second largest glacial lake in the world.

The world-famous landmark of Spirit Island on Maligne Lake. Need to take cruise or canoe to get there


Maraine Lake & Valley of Ten Peaks

The emerald green lake is so peaceful, set right before a backdrop of the sharp peaks!

Medicine Lake - a most peculiar Lake

The Maligne River flows but there is no surface outlet. The water level fluctuates due to an underground drainage system. In summer the lake rises but in winter, the lake disappear

Have a break and enjoy the spectacular views on the summit of the Whistlers

Do I look cool? Standing at the top of a big rock on the summit of the Whistlers. It's quite a good "entertainment" to hike from the Jasper Tramway upper terminal to the summit.

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park

Sunwapta Falls

Here the Sunwapta River abruptly changes its course from NW to SW and plunges into a limestome gorge rather like Maligne Canyon. Sunwapta means "turbulent river" from the days when only aboriginal peoples moved through these valleys

Athabasca Falls

The Athabasca River is funneled into a narrow canyon cut in hard, quarte-rich sandstone rock. Athabasca means "the place where the bulrushes grow"

An unknown lake along the way from Jasper to Banff

1.3 重游UBC



Revisit UBC Campus where I lived and studied - Do you see my graduation photo?

UBC Campus - the Old Campus


UBC Campus - Rose Garden
Time goes by quickly. Four years later, the campus is still so beautiful!
