Aurora from home

January 1 2025 we had an amazing Aurora display. I walked across the road from my house down to the beach and enjoyed the entire duration of the aurora dancing across the night sky. With my Nikon Z9 and Nikon 14-24 I did a 8 image vertical pano of the aurora arch that spread from Sointula on Malcolm Island all the way to Alert Bay

Sun Bathing

On a brisk minus 20 degree morning, this was one of about 10 bull elk that were sunning themselves in this meadow in Banff National Park.

Star trails with a meteor

On a chilly winter night along Northern Vancouver Island I set my camera up for long exposures for about 8 hours. My goal was to create a star trail image on Alice lake, When I went through the images I was surprised to see that I captured at meteor Nikon D850 • Nikon 14-24

Skipton School surrounded in Hoar Frost

Skipton school now abandoned which was in operation from 1907-1953 I took this photo recently from my trip to Saskatchewan, The temps dipped to -18 and the fog rolled in creating a layer of hoar frost on everything.

Pleiades Seven Sisters

Have you ever looked up win the night sky and noticed a small cluster of stars together ? Thats the Seven Sisters or The Pleiades Star Cluster located 444 Light years from earth in the constellation Taurus.

I REMEMBER FOGO.

At one time there were 3 settlements here within view. After resettlement in the 50’s everything was removed …people, houses, life. This is sacred ground.

At one time there were 3 settlements within this view, each of 4 or 5 families. After resettlement in the 50’s everything was removed - houses, people, life. This feels like sacred ground.

FLYING FOR BILL LISHMAN.

Bill taught birds to follow his ultralight …from Canada to the Carolinas! Maybe he taught these guys to fly???

This is Canada

Yes, this is Canada even though the terrain and atmosphere looks extraterrestrial. Red sandstone boulders up to 2.5 meters in diameter are scattered throughout the area, creating an other-worldly scene. Red Rock Coulee is a natural phenomenon in the middle of the prairie.

The Electric Wave

The Prairie sky is very much like the ocean, a storm can come in calm and slow like the tide and other times the storm will come in chaotic and fast like a tsunami.

Raw Power

The vast expanse of the prairie skies holds boundless power. Sun, wind, and pure lightning energy can be found here.

Morning Gathering

A small group of mergansers rests on a sun-warmed rock as dawn mist drifts across the still waters of Algonquin Provincial Park. The quiet lake, soft reflections, and early light frame a peaceful moment of wildlife settling into a new day in the heart of Ontario’s wilderness.

Morning on the Rocks

A small group of mergansers warms themselves on a sunlit rock as the mist lifts off a quiet Algonquin lake. The birds shake off the night’s chill, stretching their wings and calling to one another while the forest light turns gold behind them. A peaceful moment in the early stillness of northern Ontario.

Midnight Energy

Midnight drives are magical out here. Storm chasing is perfectly suited to the prairies, where vast open spaces and unobstructed skies allow Mother Nature to unleash her full storm-building potential.
