Fall colours, Kitimat, BC, October 2010

After three weeks of constant rain, triggered by one Pineapple Express weather system after another, the sun finally began come out late last week and I was able to shoot some of the spectacular fall colours around my new  (and old) hometown of K|itimat.

While northwestern British Columbia is mainly forested by conifers, poplars and other deciduous trees hug the river banks and often appear in small groves on the mountain slopes.

So after three weeks of this (which a lot of long term residents say is unusual even for Kitimat)

The sun finally came out and you could see the spectacular yellow along the Kitimar River.
