Landscapes and Nature

Blaze

Sunnybrae Beach looking toward Salmon Arm and Mt. Ida, BC, Canada. This photo was taken in extremely cold temperatures (-25 degrees celcius before windchill) at Sunnybrae Beach. I'd recommend enjoying the beach in the summertime, it's a popular place to go swimming.

Rainbow Road

Salmon Arm Wharf, BC, Canada. The wooden wharf is the longest wooden pier in North America, and is great to visit any time of the year. It is most popular in the summer for tourists and locals who want to enjoy the sunset; it is one of the best places in Salmon Arm for sunset views.

Beauty Creek

Beauty Creek located along the Icefields Parkway.

Incoming

Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, BC, Cananda. Takakkaw Falls is 302m from its base. Though you can see it from the parking lot, a short walk on a lovely path though the crisp mountain air will take you much closer; so close, that you can get sprayed by the mist.

Indulgence

Observation Peaks in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Ghosting

Aurora Borealis over Wells Grey Provincial Park (Clearwater Lake Campground) BC, Canada. (Not far from Helmcken Falls). There is no service in this area unless you have a satellite phone handy. There are solar showers and pit toilets should you wish to camp here in the summer, and the views of the stars at night are incredible due to zero light pollution. During our trip, we were lucky to witness a massive northern lights show.

In the Quiet

Mount Athabasca, Mount Andromeda, and Athabasca Glacier along the Columbia Icefields Parkway and the boundary of the Banff and Jasper National Parks, Alberta, Canada.

Fathom

Margaret Falls, British Columbia, Canada Located in Tappen, BC, Margaret Falls is part of the Herald Provincial Park , which is an extremely popular camping destination as it is right on Shuswap Lake. A short walk ends with the beautiful Margaret Falls. For the more adventurous, there is a small cave inside the falls that you can climb in to provided that you're careful not to slip and fall.

The Mountains

Mt Lefroy (center) and Mt Victoria (right) peeking through heavy fog. Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Hiking around Lake Louise, we decided to go up the the Plain of the Six Glaciers tea house. We hiked up through thick fog for the most part; I happened to look over and saw that the fog was beginning to burn off in the sun and was met with the first glance of the mountains I'd seen from this angle. A man came up behind me and I pointed over (everyone was just concentrating on walking through the fog) and he said he had never seen it like that before; that he'd been up there a zillion times and had never seen conditions like it. I was pretty stoked to get my first view of Mt Lefroy and Mt Victoria in such a dramatic way.
