Magnificent Canadian Landscape Photos By Victor Aerden

There are so many amazing places around the world. Capturing those places and their landscapes can make for some awesome photography. Today, we wanted to share a few magnificent Canadian landscape photos that we found on Weather.com that are truly breathtaking.  

Photographer Victor Aerden moved to Canada from Belgium with his family, and he began to explore his new home through photography. He shows so many gorgeous natural landscapes that are full of greenery, water and snow! 

Aerden told Weather.com, "It's difficult not to be inspired to take photos in Canada; the natural beauty here is awe-inspiring."

He is 100% correct, the beauty that he has captured in these photos have already gotten some great publicity! We hope you enjoy these as much as we do! 

Aerden has only been photographing as a hobby for about a year, but these magnificent Canadian landscape photos have already helped him gain a significant following.

The photographer cites the role of weather in the mood he captures in his images to Weather.com. He says, "In Belgium we get a lot of dull grey skies. Weather in Canada is better in general, we get more blue skies here in Alberta, and more dramatic weather too, which make for cool sunsets and sunrises and amazing skies."

To see more of Victor Aerden's work, be sure to follow him on Instagram.

Photographer Took A Photo of The Same Tree Every Day For A Year And The Photos Are Pretty Awesome

Michael Pach is a professional photographer in Colorado Springs who spent the last year photographing the same tree everyday and the results are just awesome. He found inspiration for his project on a winter's day when he looked outside and saw a Hackberry tree in a local park, just outside of his backyard that was all covered in snow and ice. Pack took a photo of the tree and then decided to continue photographing the scene for an entire year. The results of this year-long project can be seen at his blog Same Tree, Different Day. 

Each morning, he woke at sunrise to photograph the tree. If sunrise wasn't cooperating he spent time watching the scene throughout the day to see what would happen. What he found included things such as deer grazing in the perfect spot during a sunset, a moonrise over the tree on Christmas Eve and an incredible shot of lightning that drapes the tree perfectly, among others. 

We wanted to share with a few of these awesome photos today.

Photo Of The Week

This week's photo of the week of the beautiful Saint Lucia was taken by Jake McHugh with Jake McHugh Photography. 

Here is what Jake said about this photo: "I took this photo in Saint Lucia on my honey moon. We went on a boat tour around the island and one of the stops was this, The Pitons. They were magnificent and seemed gargantuan compared to us on the tiny boat. The sun was so bright we were lobster red by the end of the tour!"

20 Beautiful Flower Photographs

Spring is upon us and with that brings a myriad of beautiful greenery and florals. The great thing about photographing flowers is that you can find them pretty much anywhere. They can be from your backyard, a field that you find while driving along the countryside or even one that you have decorating your house. No matter what type of flower you are shooting, the bright colors that you capture can bring a smile and a sense of peace just by looking at that photo. 

To help celebrate spring, we wanted to share with you 20 beautiful flower photographs that we found on Digital Photography School. Enjoy!

Photo Of The Week

This week's photo of the week was taken in Costa Rica by Tra Hitt of Tarpon Springs, FL. 

Here is what Tra had to say about the photo: "This was from our honeymoon, in July of 2015. We had just stopped at a bridge over River Tarcolos at it's terminus into the Pacific Ocean to look at Saltwater Crocodiles. Just as we got moving again, I looked away from the ocean toward the mountains and saw this field off to the east. I actually think I just stopped the car until my wife implored me to actually pull over onto the side of the highway.  In a ridiculously gorgeous country, even the fields are magic." 

Tra Hitt is a photographer in Florida. You can see more of his work on his website www.trahitt.com. You can also follow him on  Instagram and Facebook!
