The following pictures were taken by me with a new Google Pixel phone. Zoom in on them and see the incredible color and detail of what the inside of the worlds crust looks like in British Columbia Canada:
The first two pictures below are a hot stopping place for prospectors.
The location of this rock in above pictures is between Salmo BC and Nelson BC. Nelson BC was the hub of activity during the gold rush around 1890 to 1920 and prospectors are trained to look for rust in the rocks as it is a sign of minerals worth money.
Speaking of prospecting my blog is about investing and avoiding inflation and if you are interested in that follow these links: Inflation - Investing
Here is a beautiful spot - zoom in on the moss:
More cuts in BC:
This one is extreme steep:
More beauty:
Stunning:
You can see the drill hole marks for blasting the rock to make the road:
This one as well - drill marks:
Cutting a corner into the road:
Once I got to Calgary I was able to pick up my 1985 VW Westfalia van and test drive it. The next picture is the beautiful new 2.5 Subaru engine put in. For those new to my blog I am moving into this 50-80 square foot van and living within my means of a $750.00 per month early pension:
The mechanic wanted me to test drive for 1,000 km and at 300 km it proved to expose problems with the shifter and is back in shop now. It was extremely fun to drive and with new shocks, springs, disc brakes and lines, transmission etc., it was powerful and a smooth ride:

Thx for resteem!
greenman you ar relly grate man...!!
we don't have those rocky mountains in our country - and I've never got to cross the border - I love the nature and it feels really great when someone shares such beautiful scenes - I know there are plenty of images only a google search away, but this feels so much alive than those random ones google provides. thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures.
You are welcome. I do it for exactly that reason.
it'a a blessing - i wish you good luck :)

Good work!
My pleasure sir..God bless you.......
your life is very colourful. you are a lucky person who can travel any where you want. I wish I could travel like you. But you know what? country Borders are the main obstackle for people like us. But I want to explore the world before my death. I want to climb the mountain and feel the forest also want to see the amaizing world with my own eyes. tnx for broadning my dreem.
Amazing rock formations…
Are the carvings from weathering? I am sure I saw a face in one of them…
I’m glad for all of the pics…I almost thought the yellow stripe was a bike lane in one of the photos…so relieved to see it was the center line.
Well, best regards on your van, and the freedom that must come with owning it out right…no fears of a foreclosure, or loss to flooding…just move to higher ground ;+)…
One must know that guys have an advantage over gals in a lifestyle such as this, though I’m sure some would argue not.
Peace!
The cuts are mostly man made from dynamite to make the new road.
hahaha so funny.
Aha...So not etchings...amazing! Thanks for your generosity! Continued blessings...Peace!

Thanks, nice pictures, cant wait to see it myself in some time.. would love to see some more pictures of the VW, it's a T3 or am i wrong. What paint color do you want..
Don't know what a T3 is and I will stay with brown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Type_2_(T3)
Yes T3
Here you GO !, I see the mtbike is ready as well :-)
are there a lot in your country? also the older models... in europe they are hot as hell. everyone wants one and the rebuild it to special editions etc... you can rent them for a lot of money..
I guess you normally have bigger RPV and that it's also special to drive one.. Do you also have the westfalia one..
Yes and yes.
point taken.. lol I will ask for a picture of my uncle.. he is driving a westfalia for 30 years, he had several models. I ask if he has one of his T3. it was also an origional T3 westfalia.. That's why I know something about it... I am not a specialist or something.. Was it also yes if there are a lot of them in your country?
speak to you later again.. it's 00.11 again and go to sleep... work tomorrow again to satisfy the boss ..

Wow, beautiful nature; did you try to find some gold there? Maybe you could increase the $750 a month..
Its a pity the van didnt pass the test, but now also that components will be renewed.
Looking at the photos of the rocks remind me of nature. I love nature. The photos are well taken. I need to share this for people to see how amazing nature is. Upvoted and resteemed.

Is it going to be comfortable for you living in the van? The van looks good duo. I would love one.
Thanks for resteem. I will find out about comfort soon enough and keep you posted. Gains in crypto may keep me in hotel suites during my VW exploring though.
are you a photographar?and your phone 'google pixel' is really good.
this is great photography..
I am learning photography...thx!
you are good at this, just keep it up....
really great work.
So your family won't mind staying in the van too?
My boy lives on his own. I will be traveling alone.
Alright. Am sure it will be an adventure for you living in the van?. I hope it will be save duo?

Thanks for resteem!
Wow ! extraordinary photography
Upvote & resteem your post.
Great photos. So many details and colors in the stone formations. Mother nature is great. 😊
You are right, the mobile phones take incredible photos. I love my Samsung S7 as well. If you have enough sunlight the photos are more than fantastic.
The picture quality is awesome with the google pixel. The second last picture of the machine is hot. Machine always makes me feel crazy. It gives us freedom of travelling and exploring new places.
resteemed.
fantastic scenes, many congrats on your successful test drive . cheers
Wow nice place and nice photo graphi
Wonderful photos. It was very interesting to read about this, and yes even with such photos :) Thanks for your wonderful post!
I love your sense of adventure that comes through so strongly in your articles. The VW road trip is a dream of mine. To take a summer road trip to a bunch of festivals, man that would be a blast! As for the pictures, the drill holes in the sides of rocks really reminds me of being a child and going to the Pocono Mountains, as most the the Pennsylvania Turnpike was blasted out of stone. Pretty neat to see it again, thanks! Resteemed to my followers as well :)
Nice you have a nice trip....
Thanks @greenman
Have a great day
A great series of pictursque way.....rockey mountains along with a slope terrain is making the entire series beautiful.
I love the way you posted these pictures and last but not the lease the final pic is a million dollar pic with your wholehearted smile..keep smiling this way sir...
Have a great day.
Just amazing. Hope you are really a happy man You can create happy moments at any time. I think your life is full of adventure. Keep walking for finding new adventures.
