On a sunny July morning, the waters of the North Saskatchewan River wend their way past scrub forests and fields of canola toward faraway Hudson Bay. Canadian National's daily Vancouver, B.C., to North Battleford, Sask., freight, however, is within a few miles of its destination as it eases over one of the Prairie North Line's three impressive viaducts in the western part of the province.
At the end of day
I always thank Mother Nature for all the beauty in the world.

As we were heading to Tioga Pass and the back road to Yosemite we passed through the quaint town of Bridgeport, California.

I found this old car in a paddock just out of Gordon in the north of South Australia. Gordon is between Quorn and Hawker.

After crossing Ilkley Moor we dropped down the hill to a legendary drinking den that seemed to have gone all foody so we carried on down to the river and the canal in search of a proper drinking establishment...
Travel Destination :: Bali Indonesia
My first genuine encounter with Balinese culture was in the small village of Tampaksiring called Penempaham. I was the only foreigner in the Temple that day and was warmly welcomed by the villagers. I had no idea what was happening but a young Balinese boy quickly befriended me and explained all that was taking place.
It was on this day I began to wrap my head around the genuine dedication the Balinese have to their beliefs, as well as the strong sense of community. This was also the day my love for Bali grew immensely. If you are looking for a rich cultural adventure and travel destination you will not forget, add Bali to your list of top places to visit.
These are a few things I learned while in the small Balinese village:
In Bali, there is no single day without a ceremony. It is an obligation for the Balinese to promote balance relations among human, gods and nature. Those principles are materialized through a sacrifice called Yadnya. Yadnya can be a very simple thing like giving a slice of one's food to a wandering dog or cleaning up rubbish in a temple area. Yadnya, or giving away, is the root of most ceremonies in Bali.
There are five obligations or Panca Yadnya. Dewa Yadnya is for thanking the God, Pitra Yadnya to respect the ancestor's souls. Manusa Yadnya is for cleaning human souls. Rsi Yadnya is held when someone wants to be a priest and Bhuta Yadnya is for thanking nature and balancing positive and negative powers.

No matter where I drive, there's always a better than even chance I'm going to pull over at some point to photograph something or other. This little building attracted my attention the other day while doing some errands. There was just something rather forlorn about its appearance. One glance at the proportions of those windows told me it was historic. Turns out it was built in 1918 as the township hall. It survives today as a rental facility for birthday parties and wedding events. I love the sense of Americana that the scene inspires, and made sure to back up far enough to capture the building in the context of its environment. I am always attracted to the sense of desolation in photos such as this, town scenes that encompass several acres or more, shot in the middle of the day, but completely devoid of people or vehicles.
The sea-cliff bridge is a location I've always wondered how to photograph - it's such a scenic stretch of road but the few times I've driven along it have left me wondering where or how exactly I would do it justice in an image.
This morning was my time to try and despite a fairly lacklustre sunrise I was fortunate enough to be able to compose the ocean and cliffs as having the most space in the shot and concentrate on the few clouds sitting near the horizon.

From my Dad's collection of Ektachrome slides that he took, probably in the early 1970's. I love it.
