Winnipeg, MB to Abbotsford, BC



The Saskatchewan Legislature in Regina. It was in this building that Tommy Douglas tabled the very first medicare bill in Canada.



The chapel of Briercrest College in Caronport, SK where I attended for two years before wandering over to Waterloo, ON.



Naomi, trying to open the door of Hillson Hall, where she stayed in her first year in 2004



I was also stationed in Hillson Hall, back when it was a guys dorm.



The Moose Jaw grain elevator. Moose Jaw was the nearest 'city' to Caronport, about a 15 min drive away. Caronport had NO services, so we were forced to go there for just about everything. Gotta love slurpee runs in the dead of winter at midnight!



Naomi driving away!



The summer between high school and college I worked as a farm hand in the tiny little hamlet of Rosemary, AB, about two hours east of Calgary. This was the house that I lived in, all by myself, for two months. I drove a beat up 1980 Chevy truck, and worked with one of the best bosses I have ever had. Larry Wiens taught me so much about life and hard work. I will never forget that summer.



Calgary, AB



The Alberta prairie... Driving down Highway One, with nothing in front of me but blue sky, the occasional tree and fields upon fields of canola, barley and alfalfa.



A lone abandoned shack in the middle of a field of yellow canola.



Just past Calgary, heading into the foothills, there was quite the storm brewing. I love cloud formations, and I thought this one was particularly exciting.



A glacier in the Rockies



One of my favourite shots... it was taken just past Lake Louise. I love the pristine river, the trees so green and the moutains rising up in the distance. Just breathtaking.




Mt. Revelstoke, Revelstoke, BC. This moutain is in the Purcell mountain range.



Lake Shushwap, in the BC Interior. This lake is world renowned for its houseboats. Rather than having cottages, many British Columbians have houseboats and spend their summers boating this beautiful lake.
