20 Awesome Photos of Canada

Canada’s one of those places that most people never get to truly see, even Canadians tend to huddle in just a few cities and never get out to see the amazing landscapes, fjords (yes, we have fjords) and natural beauty that makes it such a cool place to live.

Visiting Canada is fairly easy, we’re just north of the US. That’s not completely true. Where I live is actually east of Maine, so technically we’re like a hat wraps around the head of America … more like a toque. Weather here is the same as most northern US states, Vancouver Canada is just north of Seattle so it rains there a lot. Altantic Canada is east of Maine, it’s cold here four months a year but gets up to 30*c in the summer (that’s around 86*f).

Our national sport is technically Lacrosse but you’re more likely to find us armed with a hockey stick or cycling than playing it. Our money is worth about 80 cents US per dollar, prices are mostly the same which means that if you bring $1,000 on vacation here, you’ll have $1,200 to spend. Prices are much lower than in England, about half.

 

(Edit (May 20th) Tim was kind enough to email me and let me know this one is actually Halifax England, not Halifax Canada. Sorry about that, I will now subject myself to the combined scorn of photographers and bloggers)

One of things my English relatives always seem to find fascinating about Canada is the size. It’s huge, massive, giant … pretty gosh darn big. The photo’s I’m showing here come from all over the country, Driving from coast to coast is about 6,000 km (3,728 miles), that would take about 138 days to walk across assuming you walked for eight hours each day.

The last few photos are from an area of Canada called Newfoundland. It’s on the North Eastern coast of Canada and is closer to Greenland than the US, which in my opinion is pretty awesome. The area was the first to be discovered and colonized by Europeans and is home to seasonal iceberg migrations.

I hope everybody has a good weekend, with luck the snow will be gone soon :)

    You can see so much of canda here in the TV… there are plenty of documentaries where people move to other countries and canada seems to be one of the top3 picks. Wouldn’t be for me though, as that country is far too cold on the yearly average.

  6. Most people don’t realize that Canada is as large as it is. I think that’s why we tend to build everything so large :)

    Who’d have thought that Canada is such a beautiful place. I’ve never really seen all this stuff because I’ve never went to Canada to see stuff – I only visit friends and eat/drink all day long ;)

    I love this country once you get out of the cities there are some great sites to be seen.

    Chris that first pic of Whitby harbor is literally 15 minutes from where I live. Those great views continue on to the Ajax and Pickering Lake shores as well.

    I can’t wait for my coast to coast road trip this summer.
