I took an exceptional nature flight over the North and South Thompson Rivers, capturing their seasonal transformation. At this time of year, rapid snowmelt in the mountains can trigger summer flooding, causing water levels to rise dramatically, sometimes with disastrous consequences.

521. Planned Adventure Spoiled by Persistent Turbulence, May 23, 2025

This was a short flight (and without music), just a fraction of my original 275 km adventure. The forecasted flying conditions were supposed to be ideal, but reality was the complete opposite. I knew right away at the gate that it wouldn’t be a pleasurable or fun flight. The weather was already warm, and I was getting hot in my winter gear.The air quickly became turbulent with serious jolts of u

This is a stunning time of year in this arid region. The landscape has transformed, with lush greenery and bursts of vibrant yellow flowers dotting the terrain. I set out earlier, eager to fly to Dunn Peak—a towering 2,621-meter (8,600-foot) summit surrounded by sharp mountain ridges. But as I soared over Sun Peaks, the temperature was already a brisk 2°C (36°F), and the cold was setting in. R
