Adventures of a Vagabond Photographer

I finally made it to the western edge of Canada, Long Beach, Tofino. And just in time for this glorious sunset! Despite Christmas being a mere week away, there were a few brave surfers riding the famous storm surge. To me, this is heaven and my favourite refuge. A perfect end to another perfect day!

Stunning Horseshoe Bay! via PhotoToaster, using these settings. Getting ready to take the Ferry to Nanaimo then on to Tofino. The sea air here takes your breath away!

Day 3 of the Great #viarail Adventure saw us travel through some of Canada’s most stunning scenery, Jasper National Park in Alberta. There was a Christmas card worthy shot at every hairpin turn! I captured this snap near Moose Lake. Everyone on board was stunned to silence when we finally entered this winter wonderland. Although I loved the vastness of the Prairies, the rugged, raw, untamed beauty of The Canadian Rockies is incomparable. Simply the best.

I am gradually getting my train legs and am learning how to edit and post snaps on the fly set to the backdrop of a quietly chugging train. Today’s vast prairie vistas got me longing for my own cattle ranch…

I loved our trek across Manitoba today! Vast farmland, statuesque grain elevators, and miles of windswept, tilting hydropoles. Here’s a few black and white snaps to set the mood. #viarail #Canada

Northern Ontario is the longest leg of this journey, and why not with views like this? #viarail #Canada

This is my Christmas card snap from Day 1 of The Great Canadian #viarail Adventure. I took this one near Hornepayne in Northern Ontario. Most of the snaps you will see in the next few days will be taken from my #iphone as I stare out my window at the awesome beauty of #Canada!
