The fresh winter snow makes it feel like living in a Christmas card. It is so peaceful and lovely out here.
Summer/winter experience

This is a picture of Lake Louis, at Alberta, Canada. During the summer, the lake shows of a sparkling refelection as the sun hits the water. As winter arrives, the whole lake freezes, leaving a solid ice block of crystal. I am glad to have been here and to have seen such a beautiful, breath-taking scenery.
The Highest of Heights

This is a photo I took while in the Rocky Mountains for the first time in February. I am from Nova Scotia and it was my first time out West. I took this while on a day's ski Trip at Lake Louise with my best friend. The mountain view was breathtaking and like nothing I'd ever experienced before.
A Beauty Between the Peaks

This is an image captured by myself during my vacation to Banff, Alberta last summer. I believe it displays Canada's true natural beauty which can sometimes be hidden. You can see tourists canoeing on the water which holds it's very own importance to our nation. Hundreds of people experience the natives early way of transportation daily on our great Canadian Lakes. Lastly, places such as Lake Louise allow Canadians to explore our national backyard .
