I haven’t been back to Canada in many years but 2009 was my first visit there and we stayed near Quebec and took a tour of the city on a wet and cloudy autumn day.

Streaks of light followed a bus as it drove past me early one morning in Whistler, Canada.

A statue in the middle of Whistler, Canada. I love the contrast between the black statue of the fruit and cup and the bright red of the bush in the background.

Just one of the many trees we saw and lovely blue skies around Quebec at the 2009 Automattic Grand Meetup.

I eventually publish photos. A few from the final night’s party at the Automattic GM 2017.

Distant mountains in the sunrise over Whistler. September 2017.

Whistler, north of Vancouver in Canada, is bordered by mountains making it hard to get a decent sunrise or sunset photo but sometimes the mixture of high and medium high cloud comes together to create amazing colours in the morning sky as the sun rises, unseen by those on the ground.
