PHOTOGRAPHY.TREBDAY.COM officially launches with the 5-in-1 album from my trip last summer to the southern interior of British Columbia.

Looking back on B.C.

I have many archived photo sets waiting to be uploaded. If you’d like to be notified when I upload a new album, please sign up for a subscription.

In the hopefully near future you can expect many more great images from the back-roads and ghost towns of Idaho and Montana, plus I’ll be digging back into epic series from Eastern Europe and Mexico.

Highway 31

Canadian backwoods back-road HWY 31.

Historic Sandon

Boomtown, busted to pieces;
turn-of-the-century Capital City of the Silvery Slocan

Idaho Peak

panoramas of the Idaho Peak Lookout in B.C.

Meadow Mountain

Amazing vistas accessible in your own rig - if you can find the access road. And what a rugged and remote location for a few enterprising old miners.

Nelson to the ‘Silvery Slocan’

Up to Nelson, down to Rossland, and onward to New Denver and beyond.

With respect for the current resident or two still living there, some might not consider it completely PC to call Sandon a ghost town; but as of yet plenty of shadows from the past are still hanging on to a faintly familiar refuge. Sandon reflects the unfortunate pattern of decay that occurs in many historical sites, and today hardly resembles the thriving mountain gulch city it once was. City planning was not often the priority for boom towns, and Sandon exemplifies the protocol for a pioneer city suffering the wrath of its own shortsightedness and bad luck. But in the amount of ore and hard work, money lost on hookers and cards, rate of boom to bust, & impact and variety of disasters incurred, there wasn’t anything that boomed and busted quite like Sandon.
