For sure. I just thought it was a beautiful image and it also happens to feature most of Lethbridge's high rises.

I added this picture to the "few photos at a time" thread... but it's been a while since Regina has been in this thread, so thought I would add a photo here too since it shows the skyline quite well, from City Hall's vantage point.

I was quite impressed travelling through on the Greyhound. It and Kenora are two smaller towns I'd like to visit properly at some point.

There's more to it than I thought.

Even when you can see them, the Olympics look far away. This photo is crazy unreal. Congrats to whoever took it.

The easiest way would have been to just click the multi-quote button "+ to the right of the quote button on the first two posts you wanted to quote, then click on the regular quote button on the 3rd post you wanted to quote. When you click the multi-quote button nothing happens except it turns orange, but when you click the regular quote button on the third post, when the reply window opens all three posts will be there and you would simply a reply below each item.

Thanks, I never noticed that the "non-logged in" quote button turned into the 3 option buttons once logged in. (nor the edit button)

Gotta say. I've never noticed that. Thanks for the tip

See this page on Vibrant Victoria for a great tutorial by Gary Hoyer (his pics) of where this mountain range is, it's not in the nearby range right across the water by Port Angeles, but rather a full 80 miles west.



Here's his picture of Mt. Baker from his Victoria condo:



He also has a great view of the construction of the new bridge:

I had forgotten about the great views of Baker, esp. from the Saanich Peninsula. The views of Baker are neat to see for their difference from the Vancouver angle. I might like the Victoria angle better.

I think its the first time I have seen that little range near Darrington with any clarity. After I posted, I realized it couldn't be the Olympics though. There is no view of them from Victoria that has those dramatic sharp rock peaks. Thanks, its nice to still have things to learn about the local/regional terrain.
