Sunset paddle on Lake Carlyle in Killarney Provincial Park. It's always a special feeling to be out in nature but extra special on a calm lake at sunset.
The view of the rock below our campsite on Rock Lake on the third evening of the canoe trip. It drizzled but the air was warm. This remains one of my all-time favourite minimalist photos. I could travel 1,000 miles with a better camera but never find the same spectacular evening light and reflections on the wet rock.
This photo is part of a series from a canoe trip with my son in Algonquin Park in 2004.

Recent rains had created a higher than normal volume of water flowing in the river which caused this water lily and its pads to be swept underwater at times. This underwater effect on the photo gave part of the picture a glassy look.
** St. Paul , Minnesota, YMCA Mackenzie River canoe camp Voyageur trip from Hay River, on Great Slave Lake, to Aklavik in the Makenzie Delta, and onward north via the Peel Channel to the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean, a journey of about 1,800 K (1,120 miles).
As guide for that day, I (white jacket) am giving thanks for our safety and good health. Then we paddled back upstream to Aklavik. Inuvik, now the main town of the Delta, was being built at that time. We returned to Edmonton via bush and commercial aircraft, then boarded a bus for the very long trip back to Minnesota.
In 1960 there were only two canoe journeys on the Mackenzie. The other trip tragically suffered a fatality in the Sans Sault rapid--the only rapid on the entire Mackenzie--and could not continue.
At age 18, this epic canoe trip set my eyes on the Far North, and it eventually led me in 1976 to live in Yellowknife, on Great Slave Lake, and then to Vancouver and Canadian citizenship.
** Saint Paul, Minnesota, camp de canoë du YMCA sur le fleuve Mackenzie. Expédition Voyageur au départ de Hay River, sur le Grand lac des Esclaves, jusqu'à Aklavik dans le delta du Mackenzie, puis continuation vers le nord par le chenal Peel jusqu'à la mer de Beaufort dans l'océan Arctique, un voyage d'environ 1 800 km (1 120 miles).
En tant que guide ce jour-là, je (veste blanche) remercie Dieu pour notre sécurité et notre bonne santé. Nous sommes ensuite remontés le fleuve en canoë jusqu'à Aklavik. Inuvik, aujourd'hui la principale ville du delta, était alors en construction. Nous sommes retournés à Edmonton en brousse et en avion commercial, puis avons pris un bus pour le très long voyage de retour au Minnesota.
En 1960, il n'y a eu que deux expéditions en canoë sur le Mackenzie. L'autre expédition a tragiquement connu un décès dans les rapides de Sans Sault – les seuls rapides de tout le Mackenzie – et n'a pas pu se poursuivre.
À 18 ans, ce voyage épique en canoë a attiré mon attention sur le Grand Nord, et m'a finalement conduit en 1976 à Yellowknife, sur le Grand lac des Esclaves, puis à Vancouver et à la citoyenneté canadienne.
During a canoe trip in 2004, my son and I camped one night on the island at left. Soon after waking, walking to the shore to wash, I saw two Eastern wolves come to the mainland lakeshore around the bend to the right, near the rock bar. They appeared out of the woods, drank, gazed at me nonchalantly, and trotted out of sight. I had time to snap one photo into the sunrise but it is too underexposed. They appeared about the same distance from me as the island in this photo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, the only time I saw wolves in the wild. They're active in Algonquin Provincial Park and respond to wolf howls, but sightings are rare.

Yorston Lake is one of my favourite lakes in the whole Temagami area. Hard to get to, but big cliffs, mature Red Pine, clear water and little islands make for a beautiful setting. We spent a rest day on the lake this year. We had the entire lake to ourselves. In fact we went 10 days without seeing another canoe.
This is a self-portrait (of sorts) done by shooting on interval timer (5 secs, 20 shots) with the camera on a tripod. You end up deleting most of the shots but 1 or 2 are keepers.
REACHED EXPLORE #1 FOR FEBRUARY 26, 2006. ONE OF THE FIRST PHOTOS I UPLOADED TO FLICKR.
Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as my personal favourite.. Nothing like the view over the bow of this Chestnut cedar canvas canoe for me. Grew up with it.

The story behind the image:
My Darling and me had a 3-hour canoe trip on the Tisza-tó, one of the best bird paradises of Europe. We saw and photographed multiple bird species, adored the water lily fields and enjoyed the silence of nature.

A curious beaver gave us a little show in the water as he swam back and forth between our canoes during a Moose Photography Safari.
Itt a vége, fuss el vége.

I don't claim to be a morning person. In fact, I am very much not a morning person. But when there is fleeting beauty like this, I get my butt up and out real quick.
This was the last morning of our trip in the BWCA, and each morning prior was beautiful in it's own way. One had fog rolling across a glassy blue lake, another was marked by a swan couple and bald eagle. This was was all about color, the color of the clouds and sky and how they played off of the rippling water below.
Sarah woke me up and told me to take a look. Not long after, me and my foggy brain were on the shoreline, fumbling about with my Hasselblad and attempting to capture the scene. Pretty happy I got out of my sleeping bag for this one.
