 After having spent almost all of our four week holiday in Alaska and Canada, I thought that there could be little to impress me more. But when we drove along the Icefields Parkway in the Canadian Rockies, I quickly learned that I had been wrong - it was the most beautiful landscape that I have seen until today.
|
 The Niagara falls are a major tourist attraction, so stands that offered to book a hotel room were located far away from the falls (approx. 60 miles or so). It took me a little while to actually get to the falls, and shot this photo with last available daylight.
|
 With crystal clear rivers and a vegetation period of only a few weeks each summer, this ecosystem in the Canadian Rockies seems pristine as well as fragile. It is therefore no wonder it was declared a national heritage.

 At Madeira's Cabo Girão, the world's second highest cliff (580 m), I got away from the tourist viewpoint to get a different view. Near the edge, I found that Opuntia cactus that clung to the slope.

 When the Alaska/ Canada holiday ended, a flight Spokane/ Chicago was part of going back to Germany.When the plane ascended, The Rockies seemed to consist of endless ridges, one behind another.
|
 I thought that there was not much to see in Ullapool's harbour - until this seal came to the surface and looked around.
