Hey friends!

This is a journal type journal for those that might care. If you're not interested then that's totally cool and i guess you can just skip it :)

Well winter is nigh on here. Summer has gone really quickly, but at the same time my Nepal trip back in March seems like a distant memory. I'm super pleased because i've managed to find myself a really nice place to live with a great roommate in a town called Nelson, in British Columbia. I've landed the perfect job in an outdoor clothing store, selling Hiking/Ski clothing etc, which is pretty cruisey and chill, even though i'm not really a good salesperson.

My summer has been great, I didn't work for the first month or two when I first arrived in town, most of it was spent chilling out in the great weather. I managed to go to the most increadible 6 day rave/festival called Shambhala (I'm determinted to make it back there next year, even if I'm in England) in the mountains not far from here and saw some insane acts like Skream & Bonobo with some really cool people. It was one of the best times i've ever had, Canadians really know how to throw a party. All in all it's great, i'm now waiting for winter to arrive so i can rip it up gnarly style on my board! In the meantime here's a few pictures from over Summer/Autumn.


Nelson


My little house is just behind the bit of beach to the right of the bridge. Really nice location.


Walking to work along the lakeside in the a.m. The weather here is ridiculous, it hardly rains and there are so many clear blue sky days.








Lakeside, just outside my house.


Ballons


101 generic light tracer shot on the bridge.




Baker street, which is the main drag in town and where I work. There are so many trees, it looks beautiful in Autumn

There is a railway track right outside my house. Trains in this country are fucking long man.. They go on forever when they wake you up at 4am.








Autumn is great here.








We went up to the local ski-hill called Whitewater a couple of times over the summer. It looks really sweet, with loads of back-country etc. I've managed to somehow afford to land my season pass nice and early too!

Anyway, you can check out a bunch of other photos on my facebook gallery. I haven't got round to Flickr yet, i can only really keep track of one thing at a time. I'm really hoping to do a lot of photography over winter, i've been a bit lazy through summer.


Insipired by the acts at Shambhala i've landed myself a copy of Ableton and been mixing up my favourite dubstep tracks just to listen to when i'm walking to work and stuff and because it's really great fun. Thank god for Waffles. You can check out my newest one here. I've tried to incorporate all different sub-genres within dubstep because i get bored of the same sorta stuff for 40minutes. I know it's not nearly as skilled as the real deal, but it's the closest i can get right now.

Well enough from me. Now I just have to figure out how to stay in this country for longer, because I really really don't want to live in England anymore, even though I miss parts of it.

Peace from .ca, homies
