A SPECTACULAR YEAR-END PHOTOGRAPHIC CELEBRATION OF "CANADA 150", photography by @eric-boucher. (Part 1/3)
2017 is drawing to an end and the world’s eyes either contemplated going or went and experienced first hand Parks Canada gift to the citizens of all denomination in commemoration of Canada’s 150th year since the signature of our Confederation. In return, I think it is time for me to offer you all a photographic celebration of my own. It my deepest and most sincere hope to inspire you all in spending quality time in the heart of the Canadian Rockie Mountains, if not, at least, in the natural wonders near you, to replenish your body and soul. Presented to you here, from south to north, I invite you to journey along with me from Waterton National Park, to Banff, Yoho and Jasper National Park. Furthermore and as a way of underlining the important unbroken system that is being erected as we speak, I will also take the liberty of giving you a glimpse of one of British Columbia’s jewel, a provincial park adjacent to the latter and bring you all the way through Mount Robson Provincial Park, where stands the Monarch of our “Rockies”.
Back in the magnificent summer of 2016, some of you might recall my trip in the Canadian Rockies, as I arrived at the gate readying myself to buy an Annual Pass, the lady at the till, in her Park Canada fashionably recognizable little daily abode, told me that I was getting two years for the price of one! Shaking my head a bit, she knew she had to explain herself a bit more thoroughly and proceeded to let me know that the following year, 2017, would be a special free admittance into all of Parks Canada national park system. Gladly spending nearly CDN$80.00 for it, I moved on, knowing perfectly well that I’d be spending a solid chunk of that summer and the following one here among the majestic mountains, unparalleled wildlife, fresh air, pristine waters and the sounds of natures wonders.
Waterton National Park
Wouldn’t it be for the oil & gas industry and the repulsion it brought to have the following lands’ beauty destroyed by their expansion this park would not have seen the light of day. As you peruse through the photographies and memories, remember that it could all have looked like the infamous tar sands among the mountains today…
Banff National Park
Anyone who has eyes to see and has had the incommensurable blessing to spend time in this park, knows at least of some of the grace I am about to share with you. The very first and world famous park in our country is estimated to have been visited by an average of nine million people per year, as cited by our Canadian Government Parks Canada Agency! Enjoy the views…
This draws the end of Part 1/3 of this photographic journey I wanted to share with you to celebrate the grandiose, the magnificence, the sublime and, thus, the beauty of some our Canadian Rockies National Parks.
Please let me know how you feel about this and don't hesitate to ask me any questions concerning them, it will be a pleasure to answer you all, soon enough!
Part 2/3 is coming within the week, stay tune for more photographic extravaganza.

STOPLove your photo gallery! You know how to capture the essence of Canada in the year of our 150!!! we are so blessed here to have so many natural preserves and vast unnocupied land +a country that prides on it. The annual park pass is a must, it goes towards a good cause anyway. Looking at your photos makes me even more excited about the trip to the rockies we booked yesterday for new years/end of 150 celebration. Passe un joyeux Noel :)
