ROAD CLOSED! uploaded on 9 March 2008

Sometimes all of the planning cannot prepare you for the unexpected. Due to winter weather, the Beartooth Pass was closed and we were forced to take a 3 hour detour to get to Yellowstone.

Driving through the Badlands, speed limit is kept quite low since you are in a National Park, but also to protect idiots like me who sit in the middle of the road taking pictures like this one.

Man and the Badlands uploaded on 9 March 2008

Badlands are one of the most impressive sights that I have seen throughout my travels.

I captured my friend Mike posing in this imposing landscape.

Driving through Yellowstone uploaded on 7 March 2008

Driving through Yellowstone is an exhilarating experience.

We pulled off to the side of the road to capture several photos and dwell on the landscape. It is really hard to imagine how people traveled through this landscape on horseback, just a hundred years ago...

Weather on the horizon uploaded on 7 March 2008

Driving across the continent you experience so many different climates and landscapes. As we were driving through Montana we encountered a storm that made our journey miserable. As the day was nearing its end and we were getting close to our destination, we saw a bright line on the horizon.

The storm was ending and sun was breaking through the clouds. What a spectacular sight!

Prince of Wales Hotel uploaded on 29 February 2008

This charming hotel in Niagara on the Lake was named in 1901, in honour of George V on his visit to Canada. The prince stayed there, and after him several other royals on their subsequent visits to Canada.

One word of advice. If you ever come to Canada to see the Niagara Falls, see them and then quickly continue your trip down the river to Niagara on the Lake. Visit the vineyards of the region and this charming town and you will never regret it.

Night falling over Vancouver uploaded on 29 February 2008

Photo was captured on the South shore of False Creek just west of Cambie Bridge, on a cold February night... cold enough that my fingers were freezing.

One thing I love about Vancouver is that after the rain always comes the sun. And on those sunny days, something magical and memorable happens to this city.

Blue skies over Old Montreal uploaded on 29 February 2008

We came to Montreal for work, and couldn't resist staying for the weekend too.

If you want a nice little hotel in the centre of Old Port district of Montreal, Place D'Armes is definitely the spot. It is right across the Notre Dame basilica and just a hop away from all major tourist attractions.

Don't miss their 5pm wine & cheese, and make sure you use their spa. You won't regret it!

What we call art... uploaded on 20 February 2008

Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth is the first work to intervene directly in the fabric of the Turbine Hall. Rather than fill this iconic space with a conventional sculpture or installation, Salcedo has created a subterranean chasm that stretches the length of the Turbine Hall. The concrete walls of the crevice are ruptured by a steel mesh fence, creating a tension between these elements that resist yet depend on one another. By making the floor the principal focus of her project, Salcedo dramatically shifts our perception of the Turbine Hall’s architecture, subtly subverting its claims to monumentality and grandeur.
