OT: Scenic images

[Oilers in NS]

Some Colorado pictures from 2016. Mt Evans, Black Canyon of the Gunnison and train ride from Silverton to Durango. Drove 1083 miles during my trip in CO. Quite the place.

I was in Colorado back in 2019 in May. Stayed in Inverness area for a week and went to Red Rocks. Didn’t get to see a concert but I was amazed with the area

Big Harvest moon here last night. Should have taken picture of moon last night

Not so much a nice picture but we are sure having lots of sharks around Atlantic Canada this year. These have been tagged. Someone was bit recently

They are saying White Shark in article so I’m assuming big fellas. They have shark fishing off Halifax every year

'Extraordinarily rare': N.S. woman, 21, taken to hospital after apparent shark attack

That's kinda freaky, I had no idea they would be that far north

Nice.. stopped at Red Rocks briefly. Would have been something if there was a concert going on at the time.
I had stayed with friends in Castle Rock which I see is fairly close to where you were. I-25 is a pretty tough stretch near Denver. Busy...I hope you didn't take the E470 Toll road to the airport or anywhere else for that matter I did. One of the most expensive toll roads in US for it's short length. None of the toll booths were operational so I had no idea. $$$. Damn US with their toll roads. Florida is full of them.

I was actually there on a work course. I never drove into Denver once. I noticed there was road construction everywhere. Probably making lots of tax money from the weed business
That’s what I can’t understand. For a state that legalized pot first and sells a pile of it, why do they have so many shootings? The shootings they have are usually mass shootings

Actually our water on my side(Northumberland Strait) is very warm. Lots of marine life of Atlantic Canada. I have seen lots of whales when I have been out on the ocean

Seems like a better place to land. U r right down town

Yeah only issue is that the runway is too short for jets, so you can only take Porter or Air Canada short distances on their Dash 8s.

Farthest they go is Orlando.

Yes, I mentioned Porter. They use fly outta Halifax . I’m not so sure now with Covid. I never landed there

Great feeding banks in North Atlantic

Horseshoe Falls, day and night.

It's been fun out here in Ontario! Too bad I have to fly home to all my problems tomorrow.

Last night I had a deer commit suicide with the front of my truck. Moose bumper saved the day as there was zero damage to anything, not even a blood stain. I took pictures to cover myself and thought this one looked rather rad in the middle of the night.

Wow! My grandpa was a trucker for years and he has all kinds of interesting animal encounter stories.

Burning a tiny bit of deadfall and an old rain barrel at my buddies place last week in New Brunswick. Later chucked on some old wooden stairs and about 10 huge tree stumps. Flames got to be about 15 feet high and the heat coming off of it was intense. Oh and more than 1 beer died that night while we solved the worlds problems. Funny how all the worlds problems can be solved fireside with a few cold ones.

This is the most success the Lames will see all season

Couldn't stop to take any pictures, but driving through St Louis, MO on the I64 is so much fun

It goes downtown, becomes a viaduct, and it's right beside the big baseball stadium, and going eastbound, the mississippi river is right beside it all

Thank you for all the lovely photos in this thread! Canada is such a beautiful country. I'd love to make a looooong roadtrip through the country with my wife and kids. In fact it sounds so tempting I might start planning it little by little

I promise you'll have the time of your life.

That's easy to promise, I know I will The only problem is I'd love to watch a game in Edmonton, but then again the summer would probably be the best time to travel and also easiest due to the kids holiday. But one possibility would be to travel so that we could finish the trip in September (so the kids would take a few weeks off) and we could watch a preason game.
