  • Alex Fraser Bridge - Crimson Fills the Sky

    One night by the Fraser River, the sun was setting so beautifully I just had to capture the moment.

  • Wild Pacific Trail on Vancouver Island - Inspiration of Ucluelet
    guestBook Guestbook/ eGushulak/ Feb 28, 2018 Wild Pacific Trail on Vancouver Island - Inspiration of Ucluelet

    Just outside of Ucluelet British Columbia, this beautiful nature trail on Vancouver Island showcases the beauty and power of Canada's natural landscape. I visited this location most recently last summer, and was overwhelmed with inspiration when I laid eyes on this rocky ocean sight. Out of all the places I have traveled across Canada, the beauty on Vancouver Island definitely tops it all. Vancouver's rich history and culture has encouraged my family and I to return to this location many times. What empowers me most about this image is how the rocks withstand the tide and beatings of the sea, and I like to use this as a metaphor and inspiration for life. This is because of my struggle with anxiety, which has caused me to feel beaten and over powered by the world, symbolized by the influence of the sea, but through it all I have learned that like the tide, my troubles will recedes and I am capable and will survive. I will live a stronger and more confident life where I look for the beauty in life. Therefore, every time I see this image and and visit this incredible location in Canada, I feel empowered to overcome the adversity in life and motivate others to do the same.

  • Gimli Manitoba - The Great Canadian field
    guestBook Guestbook/ Scully/ Feb 10, 2018 Gimli Manitoba - The Great Canadian field

    This photo is what, I believe as a visual representation of the Canadian society, the flowing water is the Canadian individuals, and the rock dam is the blockades we face in our everyday life, as multiculturalist society, we create a collective identity we may not have a shared history but we have the diversity that unites us! The Inukshuk originally meaning a place of home, safety, and rest! Stands strong, independently from above all else, signifying that where others may not be welcome everyone has a place to call home in Canada!

  • Cape Breton - Reflecting on the Past
    guestBook Guestbook/ HarriSmith/ Feb 7, 2018 Cape Breton - Reflecting on the Past

    This photo, taken by a bay in Cape Breton, symbolizes Canada to me. Not only does it show the beautiful sky that people have come to expect from Canada, it also shows off the diversity in the environment of the country. This image depicts a sprawling, dense forest, meeting a bay, creating a sort of border around this piece of the ocean. However, what I really think represents Canada, in this image, is that the ocean reflects the sky. In Canada, we always pride ourselves on looking back at past mistakes, and trying hard to rectify them. As a country, we work hard to learn from the past and ensure that we do not make those mistakes again. By comparing who we were then, and who we are now, we grow as a nation in the right direction. We use our reflection to learn and grow and diversify, and if we continue in that way, then we will be as infinite as the sky in this picture.

  • Wellsford Falls - The Summer of Adventures
    guestBook Guestbook/ jayme6g/ Jan 29, 2018 Wellsford Falls - The Summer of Adventures

    This photo is from the summer of 2017. Some of my friends and I's favorite spot to visit and go for a swim. This photograph represents pure bliss and freedom. No stress, only beautiful sights and such fond memories. This is what I think of when I think of Canada. Not the big cities and not the architecture. My friends, the nature, and freedom. New Brunswick has the most amazing sights I've ever seen, I hope to someday explore the rest of Canada.

  • Abbotsford tulip festival - Stop and smell the Tulips
    guestBook Guestbook/ emmamusto/ Dec 4, 2017 Abbotsford tulip festival - Stop and smell the Tulips

    Something I have always appreciated about Canada is the little things that make it so great. The tulip festival that happens in my hometown, Abbotsford, is one of these many little things. Pictures here is me, enjoying the Tulip Festival in all of it's beauty.

  • Finn Slough Richmond, B.C - Ghost of another time
    guestBook Guestbook/ Silversong/ Dec 3, 2017 Finn Slough  Richmond, B.C - Ghost of another time

    Placed at the end of No. 3 road in Richmond, B.C a small fishing community still resides. Founded in 1880 by settlers from Finland, it has served over the years as a home for fishermen and their family. In January, my family and I were walking our dog in Richmond and stumbled upon Finn Slough. With the contrast between the rebuilt wooden houses with tin roofs and the old ones twisted due to decay and their white paint cracking, the picture almost takes you back to another time. I am especially fond of the beached boat resting on its side. Between the houses it almost seems out of place. With cool kick-knacks scattered throughout the boardwalk, everyone can enjoy the quirky, quiet town of Finn Slough.
