New City of Kelowna Logo... not so new?

Not an original?





This is the new City of Kelowna logo that cost around $80,000 to research and design.















This is a logo designed by an American Company in 2007. Land Design made the logo for their client SunHaven.








Possible that great minds think alike? Or should the city of Kelowna be asking more questions?

Fires

I heard someone call it the "Smokanagan" a few days ago. That describes it well these days. You can't even go for a jog outside without feeling like you smoked a pack of cigarettes or stood in front of a campfire for hours.

Observing a lot of pictures of fire lately, I thought I'd post a few that stirred up emotion for me -mainly fear, of what forest fires can do to homes, structures, lives...

These are the scariest ones I could find;


Lillooet Fire behind the town













Glenrosa Fire as it engulfed homes behind Gormans Mill













Okanagan Mountain Park Fire 2003 when it took many homes and raged into "Firestorm"
