Vintage Nostalgia

A little bit of the 1890's boomtown, I suppose.... pioneer style in the Rockies of British Columbia, Canada.

Very nice pictures. I especially love the mountain one (nothing looks the same as Canadian Rockies) and the wheel.

Ralph said...

Excellent views, although I wonder how the pioneers did without central heat in the winter. And chopping wood in a blizzard.

We softies would never survive. At least we'd enjoy the view...

Tom Sorenson said...

Awesome - I love history and I love the feeling of the old west - these pics capture both beautifully.

Carver said...

Great shots Michele. I can almost smell the wood. That may sound strange but I love wood structures like that and sometimes they do have a lovely scent.

Dawn said...

Really nice photos Michele. I'm loving your photography!

TSannie said...

O how I wish I was looking at your vista! How beautiful!

I like the wheel pic, is that Fort Steele?

Pearl Maple said...

Followed your link from Sky Watch Friday, thank you for sharing all these lovely photos. You have quite the eye for capturing the beauty in your location.

Dina said...

Ahh, that's my kind of town.
Beautiful shots!

Pietro said...

Very interesting sequence, Michele.
I enjoy the wheels, but the first image is also splendid!

Great photographs.

I posted a reference to your site on my AK Sunday Post today.

B.C. is a favorite with us.

Liked your Temperature and fly post. It was 103 here today and dry.

Michele - there is such a variety of colors and textures on these photos. I love them!

Patti said...

I also love the feel of the old West in all its "roughing it" glory.

Like Ralph said, we are softies these days. Not like the pioneer folks, that's for sure.

Stardust said...

Great pictures Michele!! So it's not always the rocks and waters, you handle so well every image behind your lens! I truly love the vintage touch of these... Hugs. =D
