KELOWNA LANDSCAPES || Breathtaking Lake Views at Every Turn

Kelowna is breathtakingly beautiful.

Whether under the summer sun or even with overcast skies, the scenic landscape with its gentle slopes and winding roads seems to have a story to tell.

Of the five days we spent in Kelowna with its cooler-than-usual May weather and cloudy skies dotted with spots of sporadic sunshine, we were able to enjoy lakefront scenes usually reserved for locals from our Airbnb rental perched on a hill at the Lakestone Living community.

Waking up to the sound of birds chirping as they chased each other across our balcony and gazing at the still lake reflecting the mountains and the clouds above urged us to kick our feet up and relax. The tranquil scene has been imprinted into our minds and will be a fond memory we call upon to alleviate our stress for years to come.

Aside from our peaceful accommodation, Kelowna delighted us with lake views around every corner. This photo series captures the landscapes we attempted to capture through our lens, although nothing compares to being there in person to take it in with your own eyes.
