Monday 26th February 2012. An incredible day of good weather, being driven through the winter wonderland of Columbia, Selkirk, and Purcell mountain ranges, in a bran new motor coach, from Penticton to Fairmont. We stopped for lunch at the Glacier Resort on the Transcanada highway, and arrived in Fairmont just before sunset. They had had a good snowfall the day before which made every view a Christmas card. An evening dip in the hotpool after a long day in the coach was most welcome, even at minus 16 Celsius! The water is pure and odor-free, having no sulphur dioxide contamination, quite unlike others such as in Miette or Banff Hot Springs. The temperature of the water is around 100 F.....

Breath taking photography, Michael! And I love the one of the roof covered in such heavy snow. You are truly an artist. Welcome back!
It does look like winter wonderland. I wouldn't like to be standing under that roof when the snow slides off though!
That is a beautiful park. I bet the water felt great even with the snow all around you. Beautiful photos.
Eine herrliche Winterlandschaft. Bei so viel Schnee und Sonne kann man das Leben geniessen.
Schöne Fotos.
