These Photos are Why I Put Everything in Storage and Moved to Canada — Happy Canada Day

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

3 months ago I decided to put everything I own in a storage unit in Los Angeles and hit the road. I knew I wanted to spend time in Canada since it's one of my favorite places in the world. Not just any part of Canada, specifically British Columbia. While staying in Kelowna for the weekend, I wanted to take some time out and appreciate this beautiful country and honor it with a Canada Day post.

These are some of the photo's I captured in Canada since I started visiting several years ago and why I decided to come spend more time here and photography this country. I hope they inspire you to visit this great place.

beautiful! thanks for sharing

The photos look incredible :o

This photography is amazing. Makes me want to pack up everything in Los Angeles and move there too! Did you have to take a helicopter to get to some of these locations?

Amazing captures! We have spent a lot of time in the Kelowna/Okanagan area and we loved it. Did you get to explore Vernon, BC? It is about 40 minutes north of Kelowna. :-)

I just got to Kelowna for the first time yesterday. I saw Vernon on the map and I said — I bet that place is cool lol. Haven't been there yet. Is it worth it?

Definitely. There is a really cool ski resort called Silver Star Mountain Resort where they have amazing nature trails and mountain biking. The views are amazing as well. There is also a family farm in Vernon where they have the worlds best 100% pure apple juice. It's called Davison Orchards.

Wow at these photos!!! Upvote & resteeming as well.
