Sometimes the greatest adventures are the ones you find in your own backyard. Over the last year I did just that - hiking through the badlands, road tripping the length of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, touring National and Provincial Historic Sites, and revisiting places that I hadn't explored since I was a child. I woke myself up to the fact that I live in an amazing part of the world, and with a bit of creative motivation, I grabbed my camera and set out to prove it.
These 100 images are merely the tip of the iceberg in my growing Around Alberta photo series, however they showcase many of the places that I fell in love with during my travels throughout the province. Click any of the descriptions above these pictures to view the complete photo spread I did of each location. The exploring continues...
