it looks nice there. i live in a valley too, but 'mine' is a bit bigger and the mountains a bit further away. the sea is on one side and a rainforest on the other. its hard to top the feeling that you could walk outside and not come back to civilization or people for as long as you want <3

Epic mountains, fabulous houses, double rainbows, breathtaking scenery, what can you ask more for  . Really beautiful...
Btw, yours mach1ne sounds pretty damn good as well. It's Canada after all <3
My place is calm and relaxing, but also quite dull since there's nothing attractive around except for some hills and typical medieval villages. It's far from everything, but definitely not as bad as it sounds

do you guys really like the idea of living in the middle of nowhere?
I mean, it's nice for a vacation, but I would go nuts to live somewhere that rural everyday.
 Spoiler: | I'm like a 20 minute bike ride from my job in the core, and some days that even seems a bit removed from everyone and enough of a pain in that ass as it is :/

a lot of norwegian settlers came here in the late 1800s, so a lot of the oldest stuff (barns/churches/remains of settlements) around here is left over from them. i was camping in a very remote spot a few summers ago and i found a commemorative plaque detailing how some of them tried to settle in that area, and couldnt because its so unforgiving...but i was amazed they even found the place, let alone tried to settle there (and also that someone else took the time to commemorate it all with a big hand carved plaque).
edit - random update from the woods: a doe seems to have chosen my yard to have her fawn <3 i heard it crying and went to look and found mom being protective of a patch of trees out back. im pretty much positive there is a fawn in there <3 if i can get a pic i will, but i prefer to leave them alone. they are safe here, no need to make them feel otherwise.

I've heard people from Bowen Island refer to that as "The Rock"

I was 90% sure it was from either Norway, Sweden or Finland.
I snapped a shot of Gaustatoppen a few weeks back, still had snow covering the peaks and it was late evening... still bright, gorgeous looking, and then the moon started floating passed the peak. It was absolutely gorgeous -- but the photo from a camphone couldn't handle the exposure properly and the brightness of the mountain blocked out the huge floating moon :/
yess!! if only it was like that. going for walks would be way cooler...
