One month ago today, perhaps to the very moment, Kate walked back up the aisle to cheers and applause – a newlywed. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and I was overjoyed to be part of it. Congratulations again to you both!

The Annapolis Valley was the final stop on the 2010 Nova Scotian Summer Tour. I lived in Wolfville for 5 years while attending Acadia, and somehow have managed to find myself back there every years since. Each time I try to do or see something I’ve never gotten around to before, and this time that included scoping out the Wolfville Farmer’s Market, Gaspereau Valley Fibres, and visiting Hall’s Harbour.

Of my 27 years, I lived in Halifax for precisely three. Why then does it seem more like home than anywhere else?

Well I’m on vacation again this week, so I guess I had better wrap up my Alberta travelogue before I come home with even more photos to share! Here are a few final sights and scenes from across the province. I had a really excellent trip. Thanks for being so awesome, Alberta!

My trip was very much a whirlwind, covering the southern half of Alberta from Calgary and Banff down to Lethbridge and Waterton, and all the way up to Edmonton, with a quick stop at Vulcan on the way. In that time I saw dozens of photogenic scenes alternately mountainous and prairie. Alberta is a landscape photographers dream, but I didn’t have time for the deliberate approach to photography. These landscapes are all shot out of the window of a moving vehicle.

The 24 floor, round Chateau Lacombe is a landmark in downtown Edmonton, noted for its stunning views as much as its own unique impact on the skyline. I stayed here for four nights, but the glee of walking into the grand lobby (with a massive chandelier, you’ll have to check it out for yourself!) never got old.

Jet lag meant that I was often ready for bed by about 8 pm, but here are a few shots grabbed at night while walking about Alberta’s fine cities. While I brought my tripod on the trip, it never left my suitcase. These are all free-handed.

*Note the first image is actually from Calgary. The rest are Edmonton.

Shortly before leaving for Alberta, my good friend, personal chef, travel partner, and preferred Albertan Paige let me in on the great secret of Waterton Lakes National Park. Tucked in at the very southwestern end of the province, this park is noted for being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an International Peace Park (together with Glacier National Park), and a Biosphere Reserve – and the only park in the world to be all three. It is also spectacularly beautiful. Most of my day in Waterton was spent doing the International Shoreline Cruise that leaves the Waterton Townsite and travels to Goat Haunt, Montana, and back again. Here are a few pics (including the rare one of a windswept me. You know, for that personal touch.)

On Saturday evening my partner and I ventured out for a photowalk, and I did some long exposures for the first time in ages. Here are a few of a starry Fredericton.

Because walking by this glorious tree is the highlight of every day. If only we had scratch-and-sniff computer screens. But we don’t, so instead you can click on any of these photos to open an extra-large size – perfect for your desktop background.
