Canada West: Wild life

This gallery features wild life photography in natural settings from the Canadian West Coast through the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, and N.W.T. I approach photography as an expressive artist medium, with the intent of creating fine images that honor wild nature. Creative intent and visual choices guide me. Qualities of light, color, and tonalities inspire me. Thank you for your enthusiasm. Your * VOTES * are appreciated, helping to provide others opportunities to experience what you have.

I'm with Salim, I have been to BC and Campbell River many times, but never seen sights like these. It's time for a new visit!

Fantastic! Especially the eagle and heron shots. One of these days, I'll manage to get out on a real wilderness shoot.
