White Lake and the area around it is an ecological reserve. It is a place of solitude, wide open spaces, wind through the hair, and glorious views. Part of its magic is that the road there is wild with no fences, moor-like, reminding me of the countryside around Hathersage in England. Yesterday as I wandered, my ears were full of the song of numerous Meadowlarks, and I saw my first sagebrush buttercup.
I could hear also the distant voices of passing bicycle folk training for the Iron Man.
It is amazing how small sounds can travel in a large valley.

It was so humbling to be in a place where only Nature is in command of the changes of time...

Oh, das sieht so schön aus. Da möchte man wandern oder mit dem Pferd reiten. Aber es ist sicher kühl, wenn der Wind bläst.
Ich liebe solche Gebiete. Tolle Fotos!

Kannst du bitte die Verifikation herausnehmen. Danke!
I love the open moorland roads around Hathersage, so I suspect I would also love White lake.
Hi Michael & Hanne,
I'm a reporter the The Voice newspaper in South Vancouver. We're doing a story on the new UBC radio telescope being installed at White Lake. I'm wondering what locals like yourself think of the new project. Can I call you to discuss? Please contact me at janaminor@gmail.com, or 778-938-9250. Thanks
