The peak of fall colours in the hinterland around Quesnel as some stormy weather closes in. As an Australian who grew up without such dramatic autumn colours it’s fascinating to watch the seasonal changes up here in Northern BC and just how quickly it transitions from green forest, to firry fall colours, to a white blanket of snow.

Autumn has arrived here in Northern BC. This shot is of one of the pinnacles or hoodoos in Pinnacles Provincial Park. The pinnacles which were once part of an ancient lava flow have been formed since the end of the last ice age when soft basalt layers eroded away to leave a more resistant ash layers behind. Quesnel, Northern British Columbia, Canada.
