#SilentSunday

Last August my partner and I did one of the most incredible backpacking trips back to back, hiking more than 130km in 6 days (two of which were rest days) through the #CanadianRockies

This frame was from on our rest days when we did a small hike to a nearby meadow to enjoy the panoramic views of the #Mountains

Arishiyama Forest, Japan

Maybe the most iconic bamboo #Forest in the world, my partner and I decided to succumb to the tourist classic and visited this iconic location. I'm not sure it's as glamorous as online sites make it appear - but, it certainly is still beautiful.

Just a snail day 🐌

It's #MountainMonday lets celebrate #Yukon today!

On this multi-day backpacking trip we had maybe 6hrs of sunlight over a full week as the late summer storms hit us every day. This was one of the fleeting moments of brilliant light that pierced through the rain clouds. An absolutely breathtaking moment.

The fact that #Windows doesn't let you view .HEIC images without paying for drivers is insane. Especially when so many phones default to taking images in .HEIC now.

Trying out this Collections thing! Lots missing (their servers need to update), but looking forward to adding more.

It's worth posting this image as well - taken the previous day and looking North instead of South, this image spurred the goal of taking a series of 1:1 images across my #Backpacking trek through the #Drakensberg range.

Ocean In The Sky (2024)
Named for the wave like cloud inversion below, I took this image early morning, shortly after golden hour and before the heat of the day burned off the clouds below.

I was motivated to capture a 1:1 ratio image of this location as part of a photographic challenge I set for myself in the region.

The incredible #NiagaraFalls in a way you're probably not used to seeing them - frozen, frosted over, and with the thick icicles hanging off the rocks.

If you look closely you'll see the large gulls flying around the turbulent waters, dwarfed by the scale of the nearby rocks.

#WaterWednesday is here and I have a very dramatic shot to share.

I've revived this edit from my archives recently - a scene I captured back in 2023 while exploring the Canadian #Mountains near #Canmore. I had a friend that wanted to checkout this creek and I'm glad I followed his lead.

Anyone that has visited Canmore will surely recognize the iconic Three Sisters Peaks here.

Mount Monolith might be part of the most unique mountain ranges I've visited.

In the high northern Tundra these mountains weren't formed by your usual tectonic plates pushing up on each other, but by the volcanoes that erupted underneath ancient glaciers, freezing them in time as enormous black vertical walls, with column like pillars extending across the ridge lines.

It only took me two years - but, I've finally published my Drakensberg Trip Report Blog, recounting favourite and daily memories from my multi-day #BackPacking trip across the #SouthAfrica #Mountain range.

If you'd like to read about it, and see some of the accompanying images, you can checkout the blog here!

Meet George :)

Paperwork is still being finalized, but, by the end of the day this lil (big) guy will be part of the family!

He's a rescue, found in Saskatchewan last winter. We've had him for a week already and he's pretty well settled which has been great. And, despite his size, he's really very gentle which is wonderful ❤️ he's also annoyingly clever and smart.

Happy #MountainMonday everyone :)

Today I share a favourite from a trip years ago into the high mountains of the Assiniboine Range in #Canada during fall when the golden larches were at their absolute peak. The golden larches dotting the landscape in golden colouring at every turn.

Highly recommend backpacking this region. It is absolutely stunning.

Citadel (2022)

I edited this image last night. I've been trying to crack it's puzzle for years and failed, struggling with it's colours and tones. I desperately wanted an epic shot here when I visited #Yukon in 2022, I'd scoured maps to find a suitable foreground for this peak. But, the weather didn't co-operate the day-of.

I am thrilled to finally share it.

Millcreek Ravine

One of the greatest blessings in my life is the abundant access to nature and natural places. This has been unquestionably enhanced by my love for #Photography as it pushes me to search for these quiet natural places, pushing the expectations of where they can be found.

This image is of the small creek next to my parents home, in an unsuspecting urban neighborhood in a quiet part of #Edmonton

Tried to log in to #Strava today... Apparently it's been so long they deleted my account 😅 oops.
