February 2011

Cultus Lake lies about 10 miles south of Chilliwack, BC, Canada. I was working in Chilliwack, supporting a call center for Hewlett-Packard Retail Photo Centers. My work ended early on Monday, the 21st of February. Rather than going back to my B&B and chilling (easy to do in Canada in February), I quickly donned warm clothes and drove south, crossing the Vedder River, to Cultus Lake.

I drove along the east side of the lake, stopping here and there to explore the shores. About halfway down the length of the lake, while driving on Columbia Valley Road, I found a small pull-out, complete with a beach and dock. I walked along the beach for about 30 minutes when the snow began to fall. These three photographs are taken from the beach. All were taken while holding my camera (no tripod).
