An early morning sunlight peeking through the trees at Lynn Canyon Park in North Vancouver.

Almost everyone has heard about Kyoto’s Bamboo Forest, where luscious tall bamboo is everywhere and it is an absolutely gorgeous site to behold. But what you don’t know about the Bamboo Forest is how ridiculously small the area is. So take a small area, and pair it with seemingly everyone tourist in the world at once, and you get… an incredibly crowded space. I was 100% unable to get any good picture of the main area of the Bamboo Forest, but I never give up easily, and so I snuck around to a quiet area where I was gifted with this quiet scene.

The neat part is the bamboo is so thick, that even though the busy area is just right around the corner. You can’t hear the hustle and bustle.

I love driving through the mountain roads. They twist, they turn, but the scenery as you go along is just breathtaking… If you’ve ever heard of the Icefield Parkway (Highway 93 officially) then you’d know that its considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world, and you can see why. When you’re heading south down this amazing road, at some point you’ll come across this view with a perfect view of Mount Christie. The little peak to the right of it is Brussels Peak, and the mountain in front to the farthest right is a part of Mount Fryatt, which is a pretty big chunk of rock.

Just remember, when you’re taking in this breathtaking view, you still need to watch the road!! Or just… stare at this print and avoid a collision in the safety and comfort of your home or office.

It’s not the fastest way to travel, but Highway A1, also known as Bow Valley Parkway is a detour worth taking. One of the most famous stops along the way is Morant’s Curve. Named after Nicholas Morant, a photographer who was hired by Canadian Pacific Rail to do promotional work for them. He photographed this spot so often that the area got named after him. And you can see why he was here so often. The view is just breathtaking, you have the bright blue of the Bow River and the various mountains surrounding Lake Louise (From left to right: Mount Temple, Mount Aberdeen, and Pope’s Peak). Add in the iconic CP Rail and you can easily see why Nicholas Morant spent so much time here.

She’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes… 🎶

I love driving through the mountain roads. They twist, they turn, but the scenery as you go along is just breathtaking… This was taken on the way back to Jasper from Maligne Lake, I rounded the corner and came to an abrupt stop. But I mean.. how could I not? Look at it! The mountain in the distance I THINK is Sirdar Mountain. I’ve tried to find information on it, but there’s really not a lot of info. They know it was named in the 1926 by someone named W.P. Hinton but no one knows who it’s named after… But I mean, it looks cool at least.

This image also comes in a both Portrait and Landscape variations.

(If you know what mountain that is in the distance, please let me know)

Sunwapta means ‘turbulent waters’ in Stoney, which is a very fitting name. Even shortly after exiting your vehicle, you can hear the rushing waters in the distance. As you walk towards the direction of the sound, it gets louder and louder until it’s pretty much the only thing you can hear. Sunwapta Falls is a fairly popular spot for tourists, partially due to it’s beauty but likely more so due to it’s ease of access. It’s so popular in fact that there’s a hotel literally right outside this waterfall so that people can stay near there and access trails and the falls with relative ease. With the Shackle Peak in the background, you can see why so many people love this waterfall.

Relive that feeling of rushing glacial water misting on your skin with this brilliant photo.
