Rather close encounter with Dall sheep, enlarged view is nicer!

This shot was taken on the same hike as www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/22012959486 and
www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/22943361756, and one of the reasons why I went further. Because when I was already very tired I could see high above me tiny white specks, that I had recognized from my earlier Alaska trip in 91. There were Dall sheep on the rim, and although it looked immensely steep at the top, my curiosity won from the tiredness, and I went further and further, until I finally got to the top, and saw this herd, and even closer by a group of 6 that looked at me with suspicion, and maybe some amusement because humans are so clumsy in the mountains compared to Dall sheep.

I like this picture better because of the background light, and the view into the valley.

From 11 june till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.

And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).

4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.

I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
