In Canada

 

Well, I have now arrived in Canada. Safe and sound for the time being.  My flight over here wasn’t to bad, managed to score a couple of seats on each flight which was a real bonus.

The scenery over here is amazing, It’s hard to know where to start as far as photography goes. Unfortunately I have not yet been out shooting, just snowboarding and eating. Yesterday was my first day ever of snowboarding. It was awesome to say the least.  I got absolutely hammered a few times and I am extremely sore today. I managed to do a couple of black runs on my first day, but payed the price when I had a few heavy falls. No broken bones YET!

After a big day snowboarding myself and a few mates headed down to the local pub here in Canmore for “Wing Night”. 25cent wings of all different flavours. I think I managed to down about 30 or so, washed down with a few beers. After that it was bedtime. Knackered.

Here is a shot I took from the balcony of the house I am staying at. The view is awesome. I look at this view from my bed in the morning whern I wake up. Great way to start the day. Looking forward to eventually getting a car so that I can start shooting. :)

  1. Where abouts in Canada are you (must be Alberta, if you went to Canmore…)?
    I’ll be in Calgary for a few weeks next month – how long are you going to be there?

  2. Hey Martin. I am living in Canmore. I will be here for who knows how long. A while at least. Let me know when you head here, if you come out to the mountains. Meet up for sure. I am just getting a feel for the place at the moment. Can’t wait to get a car.

  3. Wow, I’d love to wake up to a view like that every morning! Sounds like you’ll be having a pretty awesome time for a little while heh

  5. I’ll be in Calgary for work for a couple of weeks, and then intend to head out to Banff / Lake Louise for a few days, so I’ll definitely be heading out past Canmore.

    Email me (I couldn’t find your email address anywhere on your blog), and we’ll see if we can arrange something.
