Green Heron Flyby 2(2)

Galaxy Arc above Martin Island

Above the uninhabited Martin Island, Ontario, the Milky Way stretches in a luminous arc across the night sky, reflected faintly on the calm waters below. The ethereal glow of the galaxy highlights the quiet, untouched beauty of this remote island, capturing the infinite scale of the cosmos against the solitude of Earth.

A rare visitor

A male Barrow's goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) dives for fishes on a cold November late afternoon. Barrow's goldeneye are rare visitors as they number only about 1800 breeding pairs in the whole of North America as opposed to the Common Goldeneye who number 60 000 breeding pairs in Québec only.

Winter at Lake Louise

In the deep winter of Lake Louise, Banff, the frozen lake and surrounding peaks dominate the frame. Small human figures in the distance quietly cross the ice, emphasizing not scale, but intention—how Canadians continue to step outdoors even in the heart of winter, finding adventure within silence and cold.
