Our travels in Canada brought us past hundreds of waterfalls and every now and then I’d be close enough to get a good shot of them. This one was when we were on the Rocky Mountaineer.

This little duckling was making sure it didn’t get left behind. Seen in a pond near a hotel we stayed at in Canada

In the winter it’s a ski resort, but in the summer Whistler is a MTB destination and they have lots of bikes for rent!
We went through barren land, mountains, alongside rivers and lakes, through lush fields and saw glaciers and snow. In two days we covered a lot of countryside – all types of countryside.

We went through several tunnels. This first one has rock slides above the track to keep rocks from off the track – instead they slide down a slope into the lake. The train was quite long and the tracks quite curvy which gave me many opportunities for taking photos of the train.



The Rocky Mountaineer has a carriage at the back that has two levels – the bottom being the dining car and the top being the viewing deck. It is from here that I took the previous photo and the next few I’ll be sharing with you.

I've actually learnt lots of things since that day and can now name almost every bird in this region and identify it by its call too.
