Beautiful Canada a Land of Four Seasons
Canada is great for photography throughout all of the seasons. Summer, winter, spring or fall in Canada will not disappoint. From Banff, Alberta to Algonquin Park, Ontario these HDR photos show the beauty that you will discover the next time you are there.
Morning light Bow Lake in Banff, Alberta: Snapshot Sunday
Canada is full of breathtaking vistas and Alberta is no exception. This shot was taken while staying at a lodge at the foot of the Bow Glacier in Banff, Alberta. It is a perfect example as to why it pays to get up early as a photographer. The mist on the lake, the sun hitting the peak and the deep morning shadows combine to give you the feeling of what it was like that morning.
Trekking the Athabasca Glacier on our Rocky Mountain Adventure Drive
It was sad to see our Rocky Mountain Adventure end. We really enjoyed ourselves with the gang from General Motors and the other bloggers and writers in the group. But it was our last day driving the Equinox and it was time to head out for our final adventure. We were going to walk on the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Ice Fields.
Climbing In Canmore, Alberta With the Chevy Equinox Adventure Drive
We have always wanted to climb in the Rocky Mountains. Finally, the day had come on the Chevy Equinox Adventure Drive. On Day one, Dave and I drove ourselves in our spiffy 2010 Equinox to Canmore where we met James; our guide from Yamnuska Mountain Adventures. It is the premier climbing school in the Rocky’s so we were in very good hands.
Chevy Equinox Rocky Mountain Adventure – Part 1; An Overview
Alberta is home to simply the most beautiful mountain range we have ever seen on the planet. Driving north from Calgary towards the Rocky Mountain range was breathtaking. We could only come up with one word over and over. Another writer on the drive Chris, used the word Dramatic to describe the drive while we were eating dinner the first night and he was right. Once those rocky mountains appeared we just couldn’t get the word “dramatic” out of our heads.
Strange, Funny and Odd Names of Towns in Canada
When I started writing this post, I was going to write about funny cities and towns that I have visited in my travels, but then I realized that they have nothing on Canada. Maybe it is all of our time spent indoors during the winter, but we have come up with some pretty strange names for our cities and towns.
Here is a list of ridiculous, funny and strangely named cities and towns from my home country, Canada. If you know of any from any part of the planet that has some funny names let me know.
