A Sunset to Remember – End of Summer Visit to Jasper NP

by Kasia Sokulska | Dec 7, 2019 | Fuji X

We were so lucky this year to catch the last day of Jasper Tram late run, during our early September visit to the mountains. A beautiful sunny day that ended with us being able to behold a beautiful sunset from the top of the mountain was a great way to end summer vacation time. I really enjoy our one day trips to the Rockies. There is a lot of hours spend in a vehicle, but it is always worth the effort. As we often do, we have stopped at our favorite spots, explored new things and even engaged in a moment of night photography – one just could not resist to capture the Milky Way. One thing that I do not enjoy, during those short visits is the lack of time. One would like to have more of it to explore, change location for some pictures and, simply, to take a moment to just be. However, even this frustration is not enough to stop me from taking advantage of the surrounding beauty. Here is a few shots I have taken during that trip…

Winter Around the City

by Kasia Sokulska | Dec 1, 2019 | Urban

One doesn’t have to travel far to enjoy a bit of winter photography. Go for a walk in one of the neighborhood parks or even just around your own home and I am sure you will find something to take a picture of. Today, I would like to share some of my favorite shots I took over the years without going out of my way, during winter months when I was not able to go anywhere far, You have, probably, noticed that I don’t do very well stack at home for too long, especially in winter. That’s why it is so important for me to take a bit of time for myself, grab my camera and go out and see what I can see. I hope you enjoy these pictures and get inspired and do this for yourself as well. Enjoy!

A trip to Vancouver – Part 7

by Kasia Sokulska | Nov 24, 2019 | Travel

This is the last post in the series. All good things must come to an end. So did our visit in Vancouver, BC. It was time to drive home. As always, we stopped on the way, where we could,. Where we couldn’t, I tried to capture the scenes from a moving car. Sometimes, the lack of time is a bummer, but one can always take a trip again, right? Once again, my thanks to our hosts. It was fun to visit and, hopefully, we will be able to return the favor in the near future. Until the next time!

A Trip to Vancouver – Part 6

by Kasia Sokulska | Nov 18, 2019 | Travel

It’s always interesting what things will catch one’s eye, when visiting a new place. I try to capture such things for myself, just to remember them later on. It’s quite a lot of fun to go over the pictures and try and remember where we were when such picture was shot. Sometimes, it’s only to capture an interesting sky, sometimes, it’s a sculpture or another architectural detail where, other times, it’s a play of light and shadows or view of the city… Here are some of such pictures I took during our last year’s trip to Vancouver, BC.

A trip to Vancouver – Part 5

by Kasia Sokulska | Nov 10, 2019 | Travel

Trains… I like trains. I have traveled using trains a lot, when I was growing up. They took me to visit family, for a trip to a forest, abroad.. Europe is full of trains… Every time I visit I try to take a train ride. Here in Alberta, I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to use trains, other than in a museum or a historical park. I do it whenever I can, but I’ve never had a chance to , actually, drive a train before. During our visit to the West Coast Railway Heritage Park , just off Sea to Sky Highway we were lucky to encounter two wonderful gentlemen who were in a process of repairing a train engine and were just about done. Learning about my fondness for the engines they let me start one, for testing purposes and let me move it a bit. It was only a few meters and under supervision, but it was the coolest thing ever! Here are some pictures I took there.
