Columbia Ice Fields
This has been a favorite place of mine since I have been a child. Located between the towns of Banff and Jasper on the Ice Fields Parkway. This glacier is the main water source of the North Saskatchewan River that flows through my home town of Edmonton and on to the Hudson Bay.

White Cliffs of Dover
For generations people have been arriving by boat from France to the UK via the Dover port. On this windy day I went for a walk along the cliff trail. This trail meanders along the edge of the cliff and provides some great views of the cliffs themselves.
