iN PHOTOS: Brilliant peachy-coloured sunrise in South Okanagan

One thing about this time of year – you don’t have to get up particularly early at this time of year to catch a sunrise.

We’ve passed the winter solstice but even though the days are getting longer, it still takes until almost 8 a.m. for the sun to rise in the Okanagan in late December.

Today, Dec. 29, sunrise was at 7:55 a.m.

The sunrise in the South Okanagan was particularily spectacular with the peach-coloured hues catching the eye of several photographers who generously shared their pictures with us today.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
