Canada - almost as stunning as Scotland! (56k warning)

[havoc]

...well, going by Mr Carter's photos, anyhow!

More seriously, some of the scenery blew us away - truly beautiful places out west...apologies for the number of pics but struggled to whittle it down...nearly ran out of memory cards!


Toronto - had to have one pic from the east



Vancouver & nearby





N. Pacific wildlife











Jasper National Park















Banff National Park

Those pics of Jasper and Banff take me back to our honeymoon - thanks for posting
The west of Canada is much more dramatic than east in our experience, although we did like Quebec.

My birth country... It makes me so proud

Fantastic Pictures

Just moved to the north shore of lake superior from Australia - spotted this whilst out a few weeks ago:



Paws were the size of dinner plates!

Lovely shots Martin

Definitely going to have to go there one day...

Fantastic shots, particularly like the various lake/mountain shots. West Canada is deffo on my list of places to visit and pics like this reinforce my wish to go there. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful shots. I love that country!

I'm guessing the pics from the Rockies weren't taken recently? Emerald Lake certainly didn't look like that 2 weeks ago:

Thanks for those, I so want to go there and see for myself, as well as New Zealand.

Martin - late September, completely forgot to post them up though (moved house soon after, finished processing before Xmas, Xmas and New Year happened, new job happened and my memory turned into...oh, damn, what are those things you drain rice in?!?


Walter - see here for more Canada set plus highlights of NZ (Sept-08, and yes, we're very lucky, I know):-

(There's also Cook Islands photos in another folder - if you get to NZ I'd seriously consider going via the Cook's - Rarotonga is nice, but having a mountain weather can be variable, like Fiji. Aitutaki is paradise - similar to one large Maldive, I guess...and just as pricey to stay!)

Some great shots there, I've done NZ too and I quite fancy trying Canada next.

Holy mother of jesus, these photos are amazing!

[havoc]

Thanks guys.

Tom - right place/time.

CC - very nice place, very friendly people. West coast & Rockies are where the best scenery is...make sure you spend some time on Vancouver Island - we did a day-trip to Victoria so we could do an afternoon's whale-watching cruise, and wished we'd at least overnighted, and probably spent a few days up-island too.
