Thanks All. And jimhar this place is called Tulip Creek, BC Canada. It is near a very small community named Deer Park, BC (10 houses maybe, largest city is Castlegar 30 miles to the east 15,000 people. Tulip Creek empties into the Arrow Lakes which is part of the Columbia River System that eventually empties into the Pacific at Portland OR.
If you Google earth Deer Park, BC Canada look to the right of the map and you will see 2 creek valleys the lower one is Syringa Creek and the higher one is Tulip Creek. The Canada/ US border is maybe 30 air miles away, if that.
The road to Deer Park from Syringa Creek (Provincial Park there, camping) is not for the faint of heart, very steep drop off to Arrow Lake below. come and take a look

The road to Tulip Creek, its steep canyon, and the falls. This is pretty cold water even in the summer, and it's good to drink, you can't get this out of a tap or a bottle
These weren’t taken on the same day

Thanks Sir, The dog in your icon looks very familar to a wolf that was there for four years, not quite as friendly as yours
Swede

Got a good chuckle and no one was hurt- next problem
Swede

That's cool.
What kinda beer you drinking in your picture, it looks like your just goofing off again, Kidding, if you ever get a chance to drink Kokanee up in Canada, trust me you won't want anything else.
That is a very interesting photo- 2 thumbs up

Obre Lake NWT. This is from the air strip, I’m looking due north, 4:55 am June 9, 2010. Doesn’t really get dark here in June. Around the Vernal Equinox (mid June) the sun just hides below the horizon and reappears about 5 hrs to the east, maybe 30 degrees

As Always

Thank you very Much, Greatly appreciated.

Thanks Pal, it's already there

Wow that's a very big compliment and I Thank you. That picture was taken when I was about 4 years old, on Kootenay Lake at a place our family use to camp in the summer at Balfour BC. That picture is from 50 years ago, place hasn't changed to much, our little secret. It's a big lake, very deep in places, ice cold water and some very good Rainbow Trout fishing. If you are ever looking for a place to visit come here, just don't tell anyone else.
Thanks Again

Thanks Terry, but what you don't see are the flies, horseflies, mosquitos and sand flies by the millions. In the winter there is 5 feet of ice on the lakes, temperatures at -50 degrees and lots of snows. Very harsh place but also very pretty- spring and summer- big fish.
Thanks Mate
