It’s quite a show when all the leaves turn golden, red and orange in a classic Kootenay Autumn!

Music created by Romulus at 2ACCESS.

Pictured here is a quick drive around Blaylock’s Mansion on the North Shore of Kootenay Lake about a five minute drive past the Orange Bridge in Nelson BC Canada. Blaylock’s Mansion has a variety of interesting trees which makes for an explosion of vibrant colours in this movie.

“Impressive chiseled granite walls and wrought iron gates mark the entrance to the 13 acres of Blaylock estate. This property is an arboretum with grounds that are beautiful, lending peace of mind, with the elaborate mature rock gardens and cascading waterfalls, fountains, still ponds, and hidden pathways.” Blaylock’s History

Gratitude to the Nelson Road Kings.

Driving a Honda Civic on a Dirt Road to Kokanee Glacier in the Kootenays

clinton waller — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 20:48:16 +0000

This movie is time lapse driving footage crammed into a side-by-side view:

On the left is some dirt road driving and on the right is some freshly paved highway driving. The same Honda Civic car was used in both films, although it cost me some repairs this time. Mode’s Brake and Muffler did a great job of welding my muffler back together — check him out under the orange bridge in Nelson BC.

So what does the actual Kokanee Glacier look like? Ah.. some things we must experience for ourselves. =)

Music: “It’s Coming” by DoHm

Technical Notes:

The video was filmed using a vacuum suction mount on the inside windshield of the vehicle. A Sony HDR XR200 camcorder with a wide angle lens was used to provide an impressive moving panoramic scene. iMovie 11 was used to create the side-by-side video effect with a sliding panel fade effect.

I went for a random road trip on Sunday and ended up in Trail BC for my first time ever — I guess that makes me a tourist! Here’s what I saw..
