Snowy Penticton Beach

Lake Okanagan with a little snow on its beach but no ice on the water. Ice roads don’t exist here!

I am back in Penticton where although there’s a bit of snow, it’s much warmer than the -30°C (-22F) I left behind in the subarctic. Penticton’s -2C (28F) is so much better; almost balmy! 😉

Runway Sundogs

A sunrise takeoff lead to a perfect view of these sundogs. Sundogs are caused by the refraction of light through ice crystals; essentially, they are ice particle reflections.

Sundogs only occur in rather cold temperatures; these are the result of -27C (-17F).

Greetings from the cold but spectacular north. 🙂

As Penny requested, I am re-posting this photo for the solstice. Happy December 21. 🙂 Please visit her site: http://icelandpenny.com/2021/12/15/300-metres/
