LilloeetLake.jpg

Hauskaa Juhannusta! Wishing I were in Finland to celebrate and enjoy the magical white nights at lakeside family cottages with bonfires and saunas!

This photo was taken at Lillooet Lake, BC just after 8 pm on June 16th where we stayed at a lovely bed-and-breakfast home. More about that trip later.

You may be missing the white nights in Finland but the scene you've captured here is a very magical sight.

I keep coming back to this landscape picture of yours, but words fail me. It's just...too big for words. It is full of wonder.

Susan, this lake surrounded by mountains is a magical place.

Tom, big is the right word. Our drive through this region was wondrous, with huge mountains, rivers, lakes... I look forward to sharing some of the photos soon.

And how do you pronounce Lillooet?

That looks wonderfully romantic, Marja-Leena!

Marly, that is 'Lillo' like phyllo and 'et' like pet. It is a native name, and there is also town by that name though not at this lake. The beauty of this region is fantastic, and yes, romantic too.
