So I was back in BC for just over week and was able to spend 1 night in Kelowna.
Here are a few pics I took while there:
First construction.

Ellis Parc and One Water Street rising. (question, are both Water Street towers U/C?)

And just some random shots of summer in Kelowna. I sure am envious of those who get to spend then entire season there

One random thought:
A lot of the urban canopy in Kelowna looks good, lots of warm looking deciduous trees and the wonderful native Ponderosa Pines and Douglas Firs. They all add to the summer feel. What annoys me though are people who plant such varieties as Blue Spruce in the Okanagan... Why would you do that?? It is such a cold boreal forest looking tree. It is suitable in cities that are more limited in the variety of trees that can grow, but are unnecessary in Kelowna and completely clash with the look and feel of the Okanagan.
