Images of Kamloops

I am visiting in the Interior of British Columbia this week in a town called Kamloops. It is about 4.5 hours drive from my home to here.

The weather and scenery in winter is rather dull. It has been foggy all week but today the sun came through. As you can see there is very little snow here. Kamloops doesn't get much snow in winter these days but this year has been very mild both here and at home in Vancouver.

I hope you enjoy these few pictures. Perhaps you can see that the geography is quite dry and this is a semi-arid area with some desert scenery and temperatures in summer. It can be quite lovely on a nice day and the area is a wonderful area for those that love ranching or the great outdoors.

Thanks for sharing - I've always been a home-body with not much interest in traveling abroad but, meeting all of you people from around the world is starting to give me itchy feet ... alas, I have so much to do here though and not enough time or money ... I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with images ...

The blue of the sky is very pretty. Kamloops reminds me of some of the old towns in the foothills of the Sierras here in California...Once they were gold-mining towns.

it looks quite and the gray clouds seem threatening for some rains. Nice shots! The one with the mountain at the background is my fave. My world entry is here.

I have longed wished to visit British Columbia; it's like a pull to me to go there. Thank you so much for sharing these pictures. Now I feel a nostalgia and longing for a place I have yet to visit.
