Freedom Tower IV
To commemorate a day that is forever etched into our collective memories, today’s monochromatic Freedom Tower IV follows Versions I, II and III from February of this year after our moving visit to The National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York.
The letters for this quote from Virgil in the Memorial Hall of the Museum were forged from remnant World Trade Center steel by blacksmith Tom Joyce. Surrounding the quote is an art installation entitled Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on that September Morning by the artist Spencer Finch who created the work “to pay tribute to the victims and to explore both the personal and the collective nature of memory.”
Sea to Sky
Returning to Vancouver from Whistler today along the Sea to Sky Highway a brief pause at Porteau Cove Provincial Park once again reveals Super Natural British Columbia in all its glory and also shows why the highway is so perfectly named.
Peak 2 Peak
The Peak 2 Peak Gondala connects Whistler and Blackcombe mountains. Unfortunately it is shrouded in mist today so here is a photo from our visit last September when we hiked the high alpine trails in the great Adventure Zone that is Whistler Mountain.
On our six hour drive from Okanagan Falls to Whistler today these spectacular views of the Fraser River and Coast Mountains between Lytton and Lillouet.
Beautiful British Columbia indeed.
