This image captured from high on Mount Kobau, in southern British Columbia, is of a sacred place "Spotted Lake" , known as Lake Khiluk in the Nsyilcan language. This well known saline endorheic alkali lake contains mineral deposits that appear as spots on the lake. Minerals I the water become more concentrated as the lake water evaporates with summer heat and display colourful spots on the lake. This image shows the lake surrounded by golden grasslands, accented by coniferous trees that are set against a backdrop of rocky hills and a peek-a-boo view of the town of Osoyoos, BC far down below.
