I have found more places I want to visit by visiting your blog than I have by watching the travel channel!

Leah, it's those wide open spaces I'm craving so much of late.

Rick, then I really must go into that line of business.

David, it is the colour of northern Canada.

Barbara Martin said...

Cloudia, ditto.

Chris, Gord McKenna takes excellent photographs, which is why I like posting them.

Tony, my oldest brother did too many years ago.

Barbara, thank you for the beauty breaks. I had a very exhausting (but rewarding day). I came here a number of times just to rest and rejuvenate, even for 30 seconds. Haven't had time to post a comment till now.

Barbara Martin said...

Teresa, I aim to please those tortured souls to ease them back to sanity.

This scenery is so different from the mountains in your next post, but also beautiful.

Barbara Martin said...

Tony, the winter cold would have made it worse for you. Hope your hands are a bit better now.

Wil, it's about 800km (497 miles) from Ft. McMurray to Jasper, and this is in the Boreal Forest.
