Canada is home to a wide range of natural parks and impressive trails for both hiking and scenic drives. The best part is that you'll rarely see oil rigs or industrial clutter disrupting this pristine beauty.
Take the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, for example. This 185-mile (298-kilometer) route winds along the Atlantic coastline and through parts of Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
The traditional fishing villages were the most captivating. Driving along the trail, I discovered a small village where fishermen had just returned from their day on the ocean. They were carefully examining their daily catch, with smiles and laughter. Apparently they had a fruitful day.
I captured a portrait of this fisherman; his lined face perfectly echoed the aged grain of the dock—a timeless testament to a life by the sea.
