It is safe to say, Alberta boasts some incredible scenery. Located near the town of Nordegg, Crescent Falls is one of Alberta's lesser known places to visit, but is sure to impress anyone.
One of the major contributing factors to Oregon's beauty is the abundance of native wild flowers. From the desert to the coast, the flowers are prolific and beautiful. It was the foxgloves I admired the most. Swaying in the breeze they grew along side the roads and in the forests in great numbers with a multitude of colours.
Deep in a rather remote area of Vancouver Island cedar boardwalks meander through a grove of the largest trees found in Canada. Getting here is no small task and the trails overall are in very poor condition. For me, that is part of the allure. Walking through the overgrown bush amongst truly giant trees makes you feel so small and insignificant. The cawing of ravens or hooting of barred owls hidden within the canopy only occasionally breaks the beautifully eerie silence of these magnificent forests. Every time I make a trip out to the Island I always set aside a day or two to spend some time here. I find myself always excited to come photograph this area, but once I hike into the thick of the grove I struggle to take a photo that even comes close to doing this place justice. This is just one of those kind of places that must be seen in person to admire in its fullest.
