WOW!!!!!! I totally love all the photos of this great Country of ours. So beautiful. I have had the good fortune of seeing some of this land but not near enough. I remember being in Hope and totally being in awe of what I saw. I have the distinct pleasure of living in Nova Scotia so I have seen more beauty in the past three years than I ever imagined. So my heart lies here on the Atlantic Coast with all its splendor, but I have a secret crush on the West Coast and hope to visit a few more times before my days are over...shhh Tofino and Eucelet I am in love with you.

OMG Lyndsay! Canada has the most unbelievable scenery.
Mrs Percy and I will be retiring in a few years and we are definately doing a big trip across your amazing country following in your footsteps.
It's been on our list since we met travelling in Oz and we still haven't got there.
It takes time to really do it justice so we decided to wait until we can have 3 or 4 months to really take a good look. Can't wait babe 😉

Mt Robson, Hope, Sunshine Coast, Vancouver Island, Banff.
Been there to all those places.
One place I’ve been that I only wish I had pictures for is Williston Lake up in northern BC. You need to fly to get into there. There aren’t any roads. Williston Lake is outstanding. Completely clear crystal blue lake. I couldn’t take a picture because when I was there in 2000, I didn’t bring my old, crappy camera.
There’s a lot of Canada where barely anyone has been because of how remote it is. That’s a sign of a huge country!

Oooh wow Williston Lake sounds incredible...I hope I get to go there one day!
I had friends drive up to PG, BC from Washington State and they were absolutely floored by the fact that they could drive for hours and not see a town. Canada alone smashes the 'overpopulation' myth. There is so much room in this vast country for anyone to live, the reason we see 'overpopulation' is because folks are forced into cities to be on grid. If land were opened up and off grid technologies made inexpensively available, we wouldn't have any of these so called 'population problems'.

Way up in northern BC, I’ve heard stories about just how remote it can be.
There’s a ton of areas up in northern BC that I’m sure no one living has set foot on. I tree planted back in 2000 for the summer, and that’s when I realized just how big BC really is.

Its hard to pick a favorite. I certainly miss living in New Brunswick, but the okanagan valley is gorgeous. Good old Saskatchewan keep calling my name though. Cheers Lindsay!

Cheers to you too Ed, I was surprised travelling through Sask, I thought it would be all prairie, but the amount of green blew me away! Driving beside little lakes along the highway, and the green grass all around them, and then into the badlands, it was something else! I could only imagine that the north of Sask is beautiful too!

Absolutely stunning shots here @lyndsaybowes Canada truly is a land of profound beauty. I've been lucky enough to do a fair bit of travelling in your fair lands and I must say I absolutely loved every minute of it. Had a great time in Banff, British Columbia, Jasper, Lake Louise, Vancouver Island, Vancouver and then we caught the Rocky mountaineer for three days. If there were anywhere I would love to live in the world it would be Canada! Just seeing these pictures has made me long for a return trip. Thank you for sharing!!

Yes, this land is spectacular and breathtaking. Considering that we are the land as well, the people here are equally spectacular and breathtaking. I've been to almost all the spots you shared here, including Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. :) I was there on a 4-H exchange trip back in 1985. We even took a fishing boat tour out into the ocean and saw islands full of seals and ate fresh lobster caught that morning. It was a spectacular trip. Not a straight road in the whole province. hahaha. Beautiful pictures my friend. <3 Spectacular. Well done.

Canada is such a beautiful country. So much wonderful scenery. And I love how for such a large geographic area, there are few people although a portion of the country is eternally frozen.
We are so flat and open in Florida...other than the beach, not a very scenic state. LOL

Awesome! I love the Okanagan :) It's soooo beautiful there with all of the fruit trees and vineyards...oooh and the lakes...and sea monsters haha!
I was born and raised in PG, so spent a lot of time getting away from there as a youth, BC has so many beautiful parts, I love the lower mainland and island, it's just too cramped and crowded for our liking so we tried the East Coast, and love it here, there's hardly any people! Nova Scotia's population for the whole province is only 1 million people :)

So glad to hear you have been to the Okanagan I moved here from Coquitlam by Vancouver about 12 years ago , and am hoping to get my little house built on a piece of property about an hour from here up in the mountains near a very small town called Beaverdell its south on hwy 33 towards Osoyoos , past the Big White ski resort turn off ! Cant wait to move out there in the country , its beautiful there ! But when we first moved out here it was to P.G town haha ! I was/about 12 years old I lived there in Prince George for many years , my first son now 30 was born there ! Haha , my mom originally worked out at the Baldy Hugh's military Station before it shut down and she transfered to Chilliwack ! Small world , its been very nic to have met you here on steemit !!👍👍👍
