So it happened again, a massive solar flare allowed us the opportunity to see the northern lights significantly further south than is typically possible.

I made the most of the situation and created some images around Squamish. Check out the Shop if you’re interested in purchasing one of these photos.

It was calling for a clear night, so I booked another solo backpacking trip to the Bruce Peninsula National Park. I recently got a new filter system so I thought it would be a great opportunity to test out some longer exposures.

I managed to squeeze in another trip to Algonquin, and Arrowhead Provincial Parks. The fall colours were starting to pop, and the tourists were flooding in. No matter how much time I spend in these areas it still boggles me how ridiculous some people act. It seems like it’s their first time seeing a tree. Slamming on their breaks on a highway to pull over and get a photo with a tree. It’s rather silly for sure!

The winter winds blow in from the north, and with them come a purifying blanket of snow. It’s a welcome change from the cold, dark, and rainy end of the fall season.

A clear dark night is something I've come to appreciate more and more lately. The peaceful silence is only interrupted by the nocturnal critters. They are awake creating the ambiance leaving much freedom for imagination to run wild. If I close my eyes I am taken in by the whimsical sounds of the night

I had the need and desire to escape everyday life. I needed some nature therapy. So I did what any self respecting nature enthusiast would do. I packed up some gear and headed north to the beautiful Bruce Peninsula National Park, where I hiked out to Stormhaven backcountry camping area. With camera in tow my aim was to relax, and create some landscape photographs to share.
