Canada Revealed

[popeshawnpaul]

I titled this thread Canada Revealed because so many of us think there is some high fence that prevents us from going north.  There are much more opportunities for wildlife and photography north of the border.  I spent the last 10 days trekking through Canada and visited at least 6 national parks including Jasper, Banff, Yoho, Kootenei, etc. 

I'll post these as I go the next few days.  This first photo is Moraine Lake in Banff.  Yeah, the water really is that color.  Amazing lake and one that graces many covers of books and magazines every year.

Just outstanding for sure.  Was there in the "film era".  Would love to back now.  Looking forward to your posts.

I'm also excited for your posts!  I love Canada, I always say I wished I live there if only for their awesome hunting opportunities!  They do really overdo the Canadian flag up there though... 

I'm excited for your pictures, as always I am sure they are great!

I hiked a long ways for these goats.  No billys but lots of nannies and kids.  Here the two kids were pushing each other to see who would jump off this mini cliff first.  It was about 15 feet down to the next ledge and they eventually jumped it.  More to come.

I climbed with a headlamp to the top of a mountain in the dark to get this sunrise shot.  I was kind of scared of griz and had my hand near the bear spray at all times.

You should give up that Liar I mean lawyer gig and do professional photography. You could probably make as much or more for your pictures!!

Lake Louise is a great place.  By the way, if you are into goats they are located on that mountain just below the glaciers...  Have a fun hike!

Last one for tonight.  I'll post more in the next few days as I have a chance to go through the 3600+ photos I took.  Here's a little mud flinging from a little satelite bull...
