While driving down to Albany recently, the many fields of blooming Canola look like a
yellow carpet stretching over the hills.
It's a great sight - particularly if there's a clear blue sky, and the sun is shining on the
Canola.

Boulder Rock is a great place to visit. It's located in Karragullen, in the
eastern corner of Midgegoroo National Park (formerly Canning National Park),
right next to Brookton Highway.
It's a huge granite rock outcrop, with various large boulders scattered over the top,
and provides lots of interesting angles for photography.
There's also plenty of wild flowers and scrub in the bush around the rock.
Unfortunately, the carpark and picnic area has been closed, so you'll need to park on the
side of the road when visiting the rock.
Here's a selection of photos from my recent visit.

Taken in May, in Banff National Park, somewhere near Saskatchewan Crossing,
after a snowfall covered the area in fluffy white snow.

Many parts of Banff National Park were still covered in snow last month.
These two photos were taken at Mosquito Creek, in the
Banff National Park in Alberta.
The raw photos didn't have much colour, primarily due to the large amounts of snow and overcast
sky, but I was quite happy with the results of a black and white conversion on both these photos.

After light snow fell for a few hours, everything is covered in white, including the picnick table, rocks,
and trees.

Another photo taken last month in Waterton Lakes National Park, in the south of Alberta, Canada.

I took three lenses with me to Canada - the 10-22mm, 24-70mm f/2.8L, and 70-200mm f/4L.
I think the 10-22mm lens got the most use (including the photo above), and I kept a CPL
filter on the 10-22mm lens most of the time too.

I love the way a light fall of snow provides a light coating
on all the branches in the trees.
While making my way from Calgary to Lake Louise last week Monday, I stopped at every lake and lookout that
was sign-posted on the road.
This is a photo that I took while in the carpark at Barrier Lake.

I'm working in Canada for a couple of weeks, and
on Saturday, I went for a drive to
Waterton Lakes National Park,
in the south of Alberta.
I used the side mirror of my rental car to take this photo of the
snow-covered Rockies.

Another shot from Liffey Falls in central Tasmania, taken last year
while there on a
brief holiday.
This is one of the minor falls, namely the third cascade.
A slightly longer exposure helps smooth out the water in this photo,
giving it that smooth silky look.

Taken somewhere near Brunswick Junction while driving down to Busselton last December,
this is a typical view out in the country near the beginning of summer.

Here's another photo of the Penitentiary at the historic
Port Arthur site in Tasmania, taken during our
holiday
several months ago.
It was taken from the same location as
another photo
of the Penitentiary that I blogged some time ago, but this time taken in landscape
mode, specifically to include the tree on the left and top, to provide a natural frame.
