Best Canadian Road Trips You Need to Take Now

Happy Saturday, it’s been years since we’ve been on Tumblr. Is this still a thing and should we come back?

The Old Man of Storr looks over the bay in Scotland. —- The wind was blowing insane during this shot and I had to take a few frames to get a sharp photo but man was it worth it. This was a scene that I had been dreaming about shooting since I arrived in Scotland and luckily the weather cooperated. —- Scotland is full of incredible landscapes and if you are looking for dramatic skies you are in the right place. —— #scotland #isleofskye #scotland_insta #oldmanofstorr #scotland_greatshots (at Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uxWzmgPj0/?igshid=10vf9puvjphu1

The Mighty Iguazu Falls in Brazil —— One of the coolest things we did in Brazil was visiting Iguazu Falls. We stayed right in the park so we It some amazing sunrise and sunset views with nobody around. The falls themselves are really impressive and I lived how you have a ton of access all around the falls. —— Where is the coolest place you have visited? —— #brasil #iguazufalls #iguazu #brazil (at Foz De Iguazú, Paraná, Brasil) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hilfAgxMG/?igshid=1eee9z3rq70xb

Winter can be beautiful, like this scene from Alberta, Canada. —— I love the different shades of blue that come with the winter season. This scene was shot after a looong cross country ski into Sundance Lodge. We were not only greeted with this beautiful scene but also amazing food, cozy bedrooms and a roaring fire. There is just something so Canadian about this experience.

Fall colours in Canada! —— Fall is definitely one of my favourite times of the year. Now that we are back home in Ontario while I recover from my back surgery I might sneak out for a quick photo shoot in my own back yard. Believe it or not, Southern Ontario has some of the best Fall colours in the country. —— Shot in Niagara on the Lake in Ontario. —— #fall #discoverontario #explorecanada #niagaraonthelake (at Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B21ceGXAPAn/?igshid=1h3mdmk80ye8i

Early morning stillness looking at Germany’s highest peak Zugspitze. —— The German Alps are definitely a thing of beauty. Pair that with the morning light and you have a scene you could look at for hours. Our trip through the southern part of Germany was definitely one of the most beautiful road trips we have taken. Discovering little mountain towns, meeting the locals and chowing down on a ton of bratwurst. What a week! —— Sony A7RIII 16mm F/11 15 seconds —— #visitbavaria #germanytourism #germany🇩🇪 (at Zugspitze/ Eibsee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TtIh8ARCb/?igshid=5ohv192zwlcj

A bald eagle takes an early morning flight in Alaska. —— I remember this moment like it was yesterday. We had gotten up very early and grabbed our coffee then headed for the front deck on our ship. There was no one else around and we just looked out and took in the beautiful view in front of us. The mist was low and weaved it’s way through the trees. There was a waterfall in front of us and another to our left. As I was photographing the trees to my left I heard the screech of an eagle. As I opened my left eye I could see him circling in the trees. I refocused and snapped a few frames. This is the result. I had imagined a scene like this in my head ever since our first trip to Alaska back in 2010. Now it had become a reality. I think one of the most satisfying feelings you can get in photography is when a scene you have imagined actually comes to fruition. Luckily for us we had more than one in Alaska! —— Shot on assignment for @uncruise in Alaska. —- #alaska #alaskacruise #sonyalpha #baldeagles #wildlifephotography (at Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BrkG-AxB7/?igshid=ooodge2mwko4

A lone humpback whale puts on a a show for us in Alaska. —- If you have been following our Instagram Stories you know that we have spent the last week exploring Alaska with @uncruise. We have had some amazing wildlife experiences and also got a chance to kayak and hike in this beautiful part of the world. This particular day we were out on a skiff and saw 3 humpback whales that just kept feeding in the same area. Every 5 minutes they would dive and “Fluke” which is when their tail comes right out of the water when they dive. We have been fortunate to see humpback whales in a few locations and this was one of our best experiences. —— #uncruise #alaska #alaskacruise #humpbackwhale (at Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yO1WHADRy/?igshid=l4ru97k1ianw
