Over the past few weeks I have received numerous messages, with questions about Canada . I cannot give you a tourist version of what you are looking for , my pictures are not focused on such . I can however point you in the direction with a few suggestions , you then can  do some diligence and see which one is best suited for you .
Canada is a magnificent country , the second largest in the world , so much to see and do ,
thats equal or better that any country on Earth . My Job as a scientist has allowed me to travel
for over two decades to remote locations , so my pictures often carry such sentiments .
I hope you enjoy seeing , some very remote locations as I log through my collection of thousands.
