Hi Alexander M. All beautiful pics. I liked the roses best. I had a chance to visit that area several years ago. I was always on the prairie in western Canada and have never seen the mountains up close. I was in my early fifties and my wife and I decided to drive out west to Kelowna and visit a relative and an old friend. What an experience and what beauty and grandeur! I have to admit I felt a bit claustrophobic for the first few days and I discovered I was really nervous when up high and close to a ledge. Our friend took us to this little mountain just outside north Kelowna that had a winding paved trail all the way up to the top. I found that I could not even look out the window but had to stare at the floor of the vehicle and not pay attention to the outside at all because of the huge distance down. Once I was up top I was okay when on my own two feet and saw some great sights! As beautiful as it was I felt much better back home under the big blue. That being said...Okanogan Valley would be a good place to retire to! Stay safe, mal
