I wish I had taken enough verticals for a panorama here!

Mountain Spotting

agarston — Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:26:53 +0000

This is Mount Lefroy – at least, I think it is! (Please correct me if I’m wrong!) It’s one of the mountains we came across while walking the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail near Lake Louise. It’s a beautiful hike. We had tea at the St Agnes Tea House as it was late in the day. The tea house at […]

Canyon de Chelly

agarston — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:48:10 +0000

This is Canyon de Chelly in Arizona. It’s part of Navajo Nation which I didn’t know much about before I visited. You can drive into the canyon if you have a guide or you can walk down yourself. Would love to go back and explore it properly.

Half Dome Satisfaction

agarston — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 06:13:44 +0000

This is Andrew on our way back from climbing the Half Dome. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be, and the views from the top were stunning. It rained torrentially that afternoon which caused a huge rock fall. I was soaking wet and freezing cold by the time we got back to camp.

Boats in Vancouver Harbour

agarston — Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:04:59 +0000

I loved Vancouver. We didn’t have much time there (story of my life), but I enjoyed walking around the city. There are lots of green spaces and amazing places to eat and drink. I can see why it’s consistently rated as one of the best cities in the world to live in.

The Flowing River

This flowing river was shot on a walk near Paradise Creek, not far from Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada. I saw my first ever north American porcupine here and had no idea what it was! It was pretty close to us, munching away on some leaves. It’s an amazing creature.

Mirror-like Reflections on Lake Annette

agarston — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 10:30:53 +0000

This is Lake Annette in Jasper National Park. We were driving around manically trying to see as many of the beautiful lakes as possible while the sun was shining. We had to drive another 6-7 hours to Kamloops that day so we didn’t have much time. This is my second panorama ever. There is lots wrong with it to be […]

Avalanche Lake

agarston — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 11:57:11 +0000

This is Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park in Montana. It’s a huge park. We were there early in the season and the Going-to-the-Sun road was still closed. I hope I get to go back there one day! It had been raining heavily by the time we arrived, so the walk up to this lake was pretty muddy. It wasn’t […]

Patricia Lake

agarston — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:55:40 +0000

This is Patricia Lake in Jasper National Park, Canada. The weather wasn’t great when we were in Canada and a lot of trails were closed. We had a few sunny spells – this was one of them. We saw some beautiful scenery in Canada. Although, the national parks were packed with bus loads of tourists. It was very different to […]

Stormy Weather at Bryce Canyon National Park

agarston — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 07:20:34 +0000

Here are some wild clouds in Bryce Canyon! This national park is one of my favourites. It was so peaceful compared to Zion, far quieter, and freezing cold! There was still snow on the ground in some places. It’s high up at around 2,500m/8,500 ft. We walked around a lot and found it quiet hard to breathe in some places. […]
