The first big snow dump of the season arrived today in spectacular fashion, what a sight!

Stunning day atop Comox Glacier yesterday... blue skies, light breeze, and two White-tailed Ptarmigan with fully white plumage seen just below the snow.

The hike is a grind! 20+ km's with 2000+ metres of elevation gain, but very much worth the incredible views you get rewarded with. A few steep gullies with ropes that were rather treacherous after recent rain kept us on our toes.

Having last hiked this 6 years ago, it's pretty shocking to see how much the glacier has receded. Really hope we don't lose this beauty as the years go on.

Heron during the salmon run.

A nice big fish head went down this one's throat.

Black bears are out and on the hunt for fresh salmon!

Using a telephoto lens and 1.4x extender I was able to capture these moments as the bear meandered along the river this week.

Scenic roads in Senja.

This stretch of road was too pretty not to stop and photograph. The contrast was spectacular!

Some images I know right away if I want to turn them into black and white.

This small lake on the way down to a beach in Norway presented a nice opportunity to grab a reflection, and turned out quite nicely in B&W.

Endless views in Lofoten.

Genuinely everywhere you looked there was something scenic. A few we had to work for with some steep incline but always worth it!

Norway 🇳🇴

What a dream it was to explore within the Arctic Circle a few weeks ago!

Unbelievable scenery everywhere we looked, this hike kicked it all off. More photos to come.
