OH CANADA! (my shots of heaven)

VEDHEAD27

I've always had a passion for photography but never did get as involved with it as I would have liked....CANADA had other plans for me. This place was heaven on earth, one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been in my entire life. It definitely brought oot the inner photographer and then some.


My camera was lucky enough to have captured this heaven. Hope you guys enjoy these shots as seen/felt/experienced from above.


To give you a little taste of what follows....






Can you believe this place?!?!!? :eek:

Being Enlightened

WOW! You take some great shots, there, VEDHEAD27!!!!!! I've never been out that far west but your pics make me want to make my way there, I tell ya.

I really liked this one in particular:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1...iccontinued.jpg --- just gorgeous! I love the way the sun is just reaching up from the bottom righthand corner in front of the tree, it's just stunning, IMO.

Thanks for sharing.

VEDHEAD27

Aww thanks girl! You are very welcome. I'm telling you, this place makes ya take pictures like crazy!! haha. I am SO IN LOVE! Just....wow!

OMG I knooooow, how the sun reached up in that one?! :eek: Absolute magic!

Oh I should also mention, these are shots of the national parks I visited ~~> Glacier, Yoho, Jasper and Banff. There are also shots of the lakes in some parks....Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, Paoti lake. There is also one shot of the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver BC.

The colors all over this country were just unbelievable! The pictures don't even come close to capturing how "unreal" (a frequently used word while in Canada) the water was!! ALL of the water every place we went was different shades of turquoise...light turquoise, dark turquoise, BRIGHT turquoise. Again, unreal!

I love you CANADA! Ooooh CANADA!

And I highly recommend heading out west girlie. I can't wait to go back!

VEDHEAD27

The one me and BeingEnlightened are referring to (for the lazy folk :eek: )

MeddleDeal

I SO fuckin' hate you girl b/c you were there longer than I was, BUT you know I mean that w/love!!

WOW!! those are SO prettiful shots there girl...DAMN!! that is all I could say!! But yeah, I wished I could've stayed there longer too:( Damn, maybe next time.

I LOVE this one especially :

VEDHEAD27

Thanks Nadi! THIS PLACE IS TOO GORGEOUS!!!! hehe...aww I wish you coulda stayed there longer too. Well next time (cuze there will be one )

Aww which shot are you referring to? It didn't show up. :(

MeddleDeal

it was this one girl:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1.../prettyflow.jpg

i really DUG it!! love the waterfalls!! DAMN!! When I saw those pics, it kind of reminded me of the redwood forests in Humbolt County...so beautiful!!

VEDHEAD27

Ah ok! Yes, that place was pretty....Cascade Pond it was called. Glad you enjoyed the pictures.

Oh indeed....it definitely reminded me of Humboldt in certain parts but here you had EVERYTHING...the forests, waterfalls and the rocky mountains. EVERYTING!! Serious overload.

peachykeen

they're so beautiful! i cant wait to get my 1000 island pictures developed that place was the shit soo different amazing!

dee

twin2

Those are really, really beautiful.

thunder_balls

Wow! I can take some nice shots...but those are the sorta' shots you find in National Geographic or on postcards saying "Hello, from Canada! Now that you see the pictures, you may actually come visit me." Friggin' gorgeous. I went to Canada once..I went to British Columbia twice actually, and one time i went to the province about BC (forgot what it was called). But those are beautiful. I wish I had a cabin there or something.

VEDHEAD27

Wow! Thank you all so much for your sweet comments.

thunder_balls, seriously...the entire frickin place looks like one giant postcard. haha. It's outta control! Sooooo unbelievably gorgeous!!! Oh I wish I had a cabin there too buddy.

VEDHEAD27

I REALLY dig the way the colors came out in this one...



*sigh*

OH CANADA!

soundgrunger

aww Lyd! Your photos KICK ASS!!!!! They're sooo beautiful! I love being from here And you're welcome back here ANYTIME girl!!! Miss ya! *HUGS*

stuckinline

what kind of camera did you use?

lanners

if you think it's beautiful out West, you should come East! Atlantic Canada is one photo op after the other. We aren't as mountainous as the West (we're not very mountainous at all) but we have a lot of beautiful coastlines.

VEDHEAD27

Aww just saw these comments now. Thank you Dolly! You know I am sooo in love with this place. I mean....:o No pictures can come close to doing it justice..and that's crazy cuze look at those pictures?!?! But really though. As far as your last comment, again....*in best Arnold voice* "I'LL BE BACK!" Damn straight!

gluten919...just a 35mm. I really need to get with the times and get a digital. :rolleyes:

lanners, you again? hehe. Oh I definitely plan on visiting there. Believe You Me.

wolfbear

Wow, beautiful pics. Now you need to go to Alaska, and join the PJ for Alaska site.

VEDHEAD27

Thanks so much wolfbear! OMG ALASKA!!! That place is definitely next on the llist. Woooow. All I know is I tried to watch that movie Insomnia awhile back with the great Pacino (great film!) but I was soooo frickin sidetracked from those surroudnings. :eek: haha. I was! That place looks absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous. Can't wait to go there. The photo girl will be out FULL FORCE for damn sure. PJ for Alaska site? Awesome. Wooow those 2 beauties combined. I definitely support that goodness!

hee hee, we must be following each other around the threads tonight!

i forgot to mention how incredible those photos are. i've never had the pleasure of going out West (sad, isn't it!) but your photos make me want to hop on the road and as the Pet Shop Boys and the Village People sang "Go West!"

i still think people should come East tho.
