West Coast Trail Beach

This is the type of beach you want to see when you are hiking. This beach was an easy walk to our campsite on the West Coast Trail.

Boulder Field

We a long morning climbing over the boulders on the West Coast Trail but we got through it to the beautiful scenery on the other side.

Walk On The Beach

Whoever came up with the expression, Walk on the beach, as never walked a couple kms on a beach of loose gravel. It is tireing but amazingly beautiful at the same time.

West Coast Tral Campsite

We bought this new tent and took it on the westcoast trail. It was much bigger and lighter than our old backpacking tent, so we were really happy with it.

Final Fog

This is the last photo from my foggy morning walk.

Cold Fog

Took this on a very cold foggy November morning. When I started my walk it was solid fog so I thought I wouldn't get many photos, but near the end the sun started to burn off the fog.

Nothing

Another photo from a foggy morning walk.

Foggy Fall Blueberries

Blueberry bushes turn an amazing red color in the fall. These caught my eye on a foggy morning walk.

Missing Mountains

Normally there is a great view of Golden Ears mountain from this spot. However, this morning all I see is fog over the river.

Science World Dragon Boats

Dragon boating is a popular activity on False creek in Vancouver. They keep a lot of the boats in front of Science World.

Two Paths With Blank Sign

Showing a path splitting into two going into the woods with a blank signpost.

Relaxing by the water

I saw some great sunsets this past summer, here a selfie from one of the better ones.

Was lucky enough to catch this sunset at Cribs creek campsite on the West Coast Trail.

Beautiful sunset over the Alberta badlands

Took this in Dinosaur provincial park in Alberta, an amazing place to visit if you ever get the chance.

Tsusiat Falls

I just got back from a week long hike on the West Coast Trail. This is Tsusiat Falls, a waterfall at our favorite of the 6 campsites we stayed at along the 75 km hike.

Seaside Trees

These trees caught my eye while I was waiting to get some sunset photos on at Francis Point Park on the Sunshine coast in British Columbia, Canada.

Romance Park in Sanya

This is one off the top tourist attractions in Sanya, Hainan, China. At the park there is a small zoo and shops but the highlight is an amazing cultural show that really exceeded my expectations after seeing the somewhat tacky front. I went with my daughter and we had an amazing day out here.

Preparation

In two weeks my wife and I are hiking the west coast trail, it is a 75 km hike along the coast of Vancouver Island.

Before the Clouds Turned Red

Took this photo while I was waiting for the sun to finish setting. When it did set the clouds turned an amazing red but only for 5 minutes. This isn't bad for a waiting around shot.

Sunshine Coast Sunsets

An amazing sunset my last night on the sunshine coast. Heading back home tomorrow.

Francis Point

This weekend we took a road trip to the sunshine coast for the first time. The place we are staying at is a 10 minute walk to Francis point provincial park so tonight I went for a walk down to the park at sunset and this is what I was lucky enough to see.

Smoky Vermilion Lakes

Another photo from Banff as the smoke rolled in over Vermillion Lakes.

The crossing

Wuyishan is a popular tourist spot for local Chinese but when I was there I didn?t see any other westerners. Beautiful mountains and rivers are the seldom seen natural beauty of China.

Banff Wildfire

I took this photo in Banff a couple of weeks ago. It started as a beautiful day with blue skies, then the wind changed and you could see this cloud of smoke filling the sky, by the next day all the mountain disapeared into a haze of smoke and we lost our view of the mountains for the rest of the trip.

Standing Around Two Jack Lake

This was my second time photographing two Jack Lake, the first time was 5 years earlier when I was still really working on learning photography. So I was looking forward to going back to the same spot to see what better photos I could get now that I have a lot more experience. Five years ago I had the spot to myself, alone with the sunrise, but this time when I arrived there was a photography class already setup with tripods where I shot last time and a half dozen other small groups of photographers lining the lake. So, I took a walk around the lake until I was far enough away that I could see or hear anyone else and captured this photo while I was enjoying the sunrise.

Standing at the edge

Checking out the view in Dinosaur provincial park in Alberta.

Alone with the Gnats

This photo was taken at Dinosaur Provincial park in Alberta, Canada. I took it on a beautiful warm evening, it was about 28 degrees as the sun went down. The reason I am wearing a long sleeve jacket and long pants is because of the bugs, there were swarms of gnats and misquotes that would bite any piece of exposed skin if I stood any one place for too long. So, I didn't stand there for long but the park is amazingly beautiful despite the bugs.

Alberta Badlands View

This is me checking out the crazy rock formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park in the Alberta Badlands last summer.

Badlands View

Astotin Lake Sunset

I took this selfie at Elk Island National Park just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. I was hoping for a few more clouds in the sky to catch the light of the sunset but was happy to find a relaxy place to enjoy the beauty.

Summer Long Weekends

The first long weekend of the summer is almost over and I have the urge to start posting photos again. I don't do as much photography over the winter so don't post as many photos but now that summer is here I will be out taking more photos. Here is one from last year.
