On my way to Haines Junction

Although I am now working most of the time (and still have to select for Flickr from lots of Norway shots), I still have a few shots from my trip last year that I want to share. But I also have to select again what I want to show here, because otherwise I will not be able to finish my Canada book. So apart from, the work I have right now with my job, my volunteer work, and my norway pics. The picture here was while driving from Whitehorse to Haines junction in stunning landscape! it seems ages ago.

It was made with my 200 mm Minolta lens that unfortunately broke down of the first day in Norway, and I have to find a way to repair it.

 

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, from where i took a scenic train through the Rockies to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. Frow 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.
