Finally a sunset or is it a moonrise?

My Canada pictures are not loaded with sunrises or sunsets. Main reason was the days were too long and I was too wasted to wait for this spectacle to occur. I just couldn't open my eyes anymore after a certain hour (most often somewhere aroun930 pm). This shot was taken at the end of the long day driving from Wells Gray Provincial Park to Tukwa provincial park. I arrived late, still saw this, but lost appetite for waiting until a thunderstorm would arrive later (same problem with my sleepy eyes). Next day I needed to drive to Vancouver for getting my airplane.

 

 

From 11 June till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.

 

 

And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).

 

 

4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
