Pierre Houle - Select images from my Western Road Trip

I left Sarnia Aug 15th, 2008 with a minivan full of camping equipment and a gleam in my eye! I planned to go west Canadian all the way and ending up in Tofino BC. Here are a few selected pics. Update, September 30th - well, I'm still travelling but headed back.What a trip! It just keeps getting better and better!

Hi Pierre

 

Wonderful photographs. What kind of camera and lens are you using? Did you go especially to these spots or were they just on the way?

Hi Joan: Thanks for the kind comments! I am using a Nikon D2X with two lenses mostly: a 70-300 VR Nikkor and a 15-35 Sigma.

Some of these are taken by the road while others are at a particular destination that I picked. Many are taken "off road". By this I mean that I will sometimes take a side road just to see what's there. This can take quite a while....I'm still driving, it's been 46 days!

Hi Nancy: Thanks for the kind comments! I am still on my trip. I am currently in Campbell River, BC which is on Vancouver Island. I'm still having fun and seeing all kinds of wonderful things! I will post more pics as I have time!

Nice Shots

You took some beautiful pictures. How long were you gone for? I especially like the salmon glacier shot (I love glaciers and icebergs).  The black bear looked like a cub, did you see his mother? You should post more pics, they are fantastic.
