Launched in 1914 just before World War I, the sternwheeler SS Sicamous was a passenger and cargo ship that used to ply the waters of Okanagan Lake.

During its heyday, it was a luxurious and elegant mode of transportation; it’s now preserved as a heritage museum and events centre. At night, the old ship is beautifully lit by hundreds of lights and has become a Penticton landmark.

This bridge over the creek just across the street from home is always a pretty night sight. It’s lit by the softer light of the old-style street lamps that convey a sense of tranquility and peace.

Happy Thursday.
