Where was the "Forest" picture taken - it is beautiful!

All of them stunning photos. We live in such a beautiful place. These are the things we should be thinking about, how lucky we are to live here, instead of complaining about every single little thing.

I believe the Forest photo was taken in the Ancient Forest.
It says on the photo description it was taken just east of Prince George.

ob1: the 'forest' picture was taken in the bush. If you go into the bush, you can see that too.

Forest ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/tylerneilson/5192607051/ ) was taken at the start of the Viking Ridge Hike, probably no more than 100m off the highway. The GeoTag information on the picture (the map is viewable on the Flicker site) is going to be fairly accurate.

And, thanks very much, I'm really happy with that shot as well :)
