Stave Lake, BC, Canada

Stave Lake is a man made lake,
created in 1921 to help generate
hydroelectric power.
Its a beautiful area, full
of wilderness, forests and
mountains.
You can take tours through
the Stave Falls Powerhouse.
After spending time on Alouette Lake,
I wanted to see for myself how
these lakes are connected.
There is a tunnel from the north end of
Alouette Lake that feeds into
Stave Lake and then into the Stave Falls
Powerstation.
From there it flows downriver
and into the
Hayward Lake Reservoir,
through the Ruskin Powerhouse,
and finally into the Fraser River.
This was a source of power for the
historic British Columbia
Electric Railway, which
had a streetcar system (called trams)
in Vancouver.
There is so much history here that
we take for granted, or don't
pay too much attention to.
I am slowly connecting the dots
to understand how intertwined
life is here.
Everything depends
on something else.

Alouette Lake, British Columiba

Alouette Lake is located within
Golden Ears Provincial Park in
British Columbia, Canada.
Alouette Lake is a man made lake,
the water in it is fed
to Stave Lake via a tunnel, and
powers the Alouette Powerhouse.
She's a beautiful lake, 17 kms
long and has some great fishing.
There are remote wilderness campsites
along her shores, and an eye popping backdrop of
Edge Peak , Blanshard Peak,
and Golden Ears,
which are all part of the
Garibaldi Ranges.
No wonder so many movies are filmed
up here. Its a wilderness worthy
of poetry.
I am working my
way through visiting all of these
beautiful lakes, each has its own
character and charm, its own spirit
and place in the world.
Like man, they are all in some way
interconnected and depend on
each other, even if they don't know it.
Mother Nature teaches us so much
about ourselves, we just have to watch her
and listen to her.
Welcome to your life!
