Yesterday we visited Summerland for some last minute 2011 shopping.
Here are a few images from this strangely named town up in the hills, where " The Spirit of Summer Never Ends". Its name was inspired by some lines from an old Spiritual hymn " There no cloud shall dim the sky, in that happy home on high, in that heavenly Summer Land "
 |
| "The Happy Home on High?" |
 |
| "Better than Boxing Day Sale" |
 |
| Mural on the Anglican Church |
 |
| Tree Root in the Park |
It was first settled in 1887 by a family from Ontario who brought some apple tree saplings, named in 1902, and incorporated in 1906. More history
here if needed.
This is the last post for 2011.
A Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year to you all from Hanne and Michael!

You share such wonderful photos. I really like the view of the town of Summerland. I will have to google that to find out where it is. Happy New Year to the both of you.
I like the painting on the church and find it very funny that the shops give 50% discount on Christmas articles.
Greetings,
Filip
