A few photos from our trip to Canada in 2007.
Ahh the memories!!
In 2007 we travelled to Canada to attend my cousin's wedding and spent a few weeks travelling and visiting some other family members.
The Takkakaw Falls were spectacular and so much larger than falls we had seen in Australia, and I can remember the breathtaking view as we rounded the corner and saw the falls for the first time.
The Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge in Golden was beautiful. The bridge spans the Kicking Horse River and is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada.

Another highlight of the trip was visiting Fort MacLeod and the RCMP display there. There were many more amazing places, one of them was the World Heritage Site in Alberta, 18 km from Fort MacLeod, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and home of the museum of Blackfoot culture.

Hello, what a great trip! The waterfalls is beautiful. I love the bridge too. Gorgeous views and photos. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
Stewart - yes the name got us too and so we had to go there and it was a great place, so much to learn there.
The falls were spectacular. Thanks for your comments.
Looks like you had a great trip and saw some of the spectacular regions of our country.
Sounds like a wonderful time you enjoyed in BC, we hang not in Ontario about 5,000 kms east for there, last time I was there was 45 years ago, hope to get back there someday again.
The waterfalls are so huge that it's hard to imagine them! What a fabulous place to travel!
Rosie - British Columbia is a stunning part of the world. We traveled there with my Mom and my oldest sister a couple of summers ago, and it was a trip I will never forget. Thanks for sharing your memories and photos with everyone at Mosaic Monday!
What wonderful photos of a country I would like to v isit one day
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Canada. I live in British Columbia and have often traveled the highway through the mountains, and have been to Buffalo Jump, as well. I'm tickled that you shared these photos!
the waterfall is amazing. We would love to go to Canada, but it is such a long way from Australia and so expensive! Maybe....one day.... Happy travels and thank you for visiting my blog this week.
Thanks Angie, we loved Canada too and of course our Canadian family there made us feel so welcome.
Thanks for your comments Jo-Anne, I am sure you would love Canada and I hope you will be able to visit there one day.
Thanks for your comment Jill. Yes it is a long flight but once there it is worth it. I hope you get there one day.
Love your waterfall photo and the covered bridge, last time I was in BC was 45 years ago, camping in my tent trailer.
I love waterfalls and your photos of them are fantastic. Canada sure does have some amazing falls! And beautiful scenery. And lovely people. And funny place names.
