Every Friday we feature an inspirational travel photo of a Canadian destination taken by one of our readers.
Why we chose it: The use of reflection here is simply amazing. The layers—a reflection of the adjacent neoclassical Lillian Massey building over the Gardiner’s modern interior architecture over the skyline view of downtown Toronto through the slats—are dizzying, but somehow work. Just plain cool! (more…)

Why we chose it: Nuit Blanche, an annual all-night extravaganza of art installations and an outdoor carnival, takes place in Montreal tomorrow, February 25. This colourful motion blur of the Ferris wheel is the perfect festive nighttime shot to get the party started! (more…)

Why we chose it: This stunning shot says two things: patience and timing. (Well, maybe three things: patience, timing and a tripod.) The purple sky is simply amazing, the treeline silhouette is a perfect frame and the clarity in the clouds at the centre of the image are fantastic. Bring on the rainstorm season! (more…)

Why we chose it: Remember summer? This photo makes us want to book our Great Canadian Road Trip across the Prairies right now. The composition is perfect, the colour is vibrant and casts some much-needed (albeit virtual) warmth on our winter days. The shadow across the bottom third of the canola field creates another subtle, interesting line.
A work of modern art in canola, open sky and silos. (more…)

Why we chose it: Icebergs were made for black-and-white photography. Talk about drama! We especially love how crisp the iceberg appears. You can see every nook and cranny and can easily imagine texture were you to reach out and touch it. (more…)

Why we chose it: The photographer claims to have set the ISO too high on this shot, so apparently this result is serendipitous. The composition is excellent—leaving two-thirds of the image to open sky is a perfect choice. And though the infrared filter likely amplifies the crispness, the blues and the otherworldly look of the trees, it doesn’t give the image that false, over-manipulated look common in infrared shots. It’s believable that the blind eye might actually see this in nature. (more…)

Why we chose it: How did he get them to do that? This fortuitous shot of Canada geese (yup, it’s Canada, not Canadian—they’re not citizens, after all) in an unbroken V formation is even more interesting for the blue-pink sky and the golden light cast on the geese. No doubt these snowbirds are heading south from Georgian Bay on Lake Huron. (more…)

Why we chose it: Twilight appears in the early afternoon at this time of year in Nunavut. Despite the potential emotional effects of winter’s dark days, it makes for a great photo! This image really captures the wide open spaces we enjoy in Canada. (more…)

Why we chose it: BC has some of the most enviable sunsets in Canada, as evidenced here. It’s a beautiful silhouette—and the fiery sunset makes winter feel almost warm. But it’s the reflections in the puddles that makes it a truly remarkable shot. (more…)

Why we chose it: The mountains, the evergreens, the frozen lake, the wide open space without another human being in sight, the sweater, the tuque, the hockey—it’s the quintessential Canadian winter shot! (more…)
