Shannon Falls – British Columbia, Canada
After teaching in Vancouver, we decided to take a few days to spend some time in beautiful British Columbia. We headed toward Whistler, following the Sea-to-Sky Highway, a drive that lives up to its name with views that shift between ocean, mountains and forest.
Along the way, we stopped at Shannon Falls. Even seeing it, you can hear it, the steady rush of water cutting through the quiet of the surrounding trees. As we approached, the falls cascade down the rock face in a series of drops.
At 1,100 feet, Shannon Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in British Columbia. The water comes from snowmelt and rainfall higher up the mountain, which means the flow changes with the season. The falls drop down a sheer granite cliff.
Marty, Erin and I stopped to take in the view and capture a moment together in front of this spectacular site. The scale of the falls, the mist in the air and the sound of the water all combine to create this experience.
This brief stop on the way to Whistler added something to the journey and is a reminder of how much there is to see when we take the time to stop along the way.

Soweto – South Africa

Before arriving, my knowledge of South Africa was quite […]
