Thanks fototripper for the B&W inspiration. Taken while on a great workshop with the man himself last year. Been a while since I've created any B&W images. Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Listen, I know it's #Caturday, but can I just take a minute to show you how lovely the sky was last night?

Green aurora borealis ripples in the sky. Underneath, a cluster of trees on an island in the middle of Astotin Lake are silhouetted against the clear and starry sky. The lake is still frozen, creating a snow-covered foreground, with a few grasses peeking through to remind us it's actually spring.

Today in #Edmonton, Prime Minister #Carney is announcing a $187 million investment to repair and rebuild critical #infrastructure in #JasperNationalPark. This funding, provided to #ParksCanada over two years, will support the reconstruction of roads, campgrounds, trails, and permanent staff housing, and help provide interim housing options for staff and residents during rebuilding.

I live less than 45 minutes from #ElkIslandNationalPark. And while I've never seen a single elk in all the times I've been there, I do see bison on the regular. Hoping to get out to the park when the weather warms up here this weekend.

Bison standing in the grass at the edge of a forest, seen in the background in autumn colours. The bison's face is at a slight angle, but he is absolutely looking straight at the camera.

'Mountain Glow' - I know Aurora shots have been everywhere this year, but this night for me was so special. My first time seeing the Northern Lights and what a wonderful place to experience that moment.

One of my craziest photo adventures was a solo expedition to the Mingan archipelago. To say that it is an extraordinary photo destination is nothing short of an understatement. #landscapephotography #beach #mingan #parkscanada #quebec #canada #landscape #ericgphoto #rock #fog #photography

An unusually perfectly square shaped rock dominates the foreground in a vertical landscape photo of a rocky beach in the fog. 
The beach curves left to a receding point where it meets the horizon. Towards the right is a small stand of coniferous trees slightly hidden by the fog.

“Imagine this: a safe passage for endangered species like the short-eared owl and red-headed woodpecker, a private habitat for moose, deer and black bears, a commitment to conservation that honours the land’s history and secures its future.”

#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.

Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people

In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

For #MountainMonday, I will share a view of the Tablelands in #GrosMorne National Park. This is one of just a few places on the planet where the earth’s mantle is exposed. #ParksCanada parks.canada.ca/pn-np/nl/grosm

A two lane road with mountains on either side. The mountain on the right is made of orangish rock. There is some grass and low brush in the foreground on either side of the road.

#ThrowbackThursday to our first campfire of the 2024 season on May 17th. We started and ended our camping season at Green Point in Gros Morne National Park. Can’t wait for next spring. #ParksCanada #GrosMorne

Red hot coals in a fire pit, with a marshmallow on a roasting stick held over them.
