Heres to 3000 posts....a contest

Great idea for a giveaway, and very generous.

Here's my favourite. I took it while on an unforgettable two-week canoe trip with my father on Murtle Lake, Wells Gray Park, in British Columbia, 2006.

This is the view looking northward from our camp on the eastern shore of Murtle's long north arm. In the background you can see the mountains that rise at the extreme tip of the lake. In the foreground is our canoe, beached after a four-hour paddle. Of all the photos I took, this one best captures the feeling of the trip, and every time I look at it, I am reminded of the sights, sounds, and smells of the mountains. This was the lengthiest trip I have ever been on with my father, and it was easily one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I remember hour-long stretches of paddling, fishing (from that rented Clipper canoe - quite the balancing act), or hiking, where neither of us said a word - and the silence was pristine, not awkward.

I chose this picture because it was from an awesome trip with my dad. We try to take a trip together every couple of years and this one was great. We went up to Alaska for a few days of fishing on the Kenai River followed by sea kayaking in Research(?) bay and a 4 wheeler tour up to some glaciers.
 
Great give-away bro but boy what a tough contest ! I have taken so many pics during my travels that trying to narrow it down is real tough !!!!

I have to include this one as it is the first Bear I have ever seen in the wild and felt so fortunate to get so close.....

Took it cause it is a beautiful thing to create fire for warmth and cooking. It was taken on the property I live on earlier this summer. Plus it looks freaking cool!
 
Here i am, up about 160 feet in a tree. This tree (hell of a leaner) and the funky curved cedar beside it are 1' from a cliff edge, overlooking the ocean (which is about another 100 feet down). , (i'm on Gabriola Island, BC). I was thinning out some trees for a landowner. (he used a zoom lens to take this pic). bit of a "pucker" factor involved in climbing this one, you cant see it but there are anchor guylines one the tree i'm on, they run about 200 feet up the slope to a massive 5' diameter douglas fir (anchor point) I did that to make sure the tree would'nt lean anymore or heave out the rootball when i got on the ocean side of the tree to remove sevral broiken limbs) . good times. the funky tre on the left was a bizzare "S" shape, a complete mutant of a cedar, (common here in BC)

A shot I took three years ago of a beaver swimmin' 'cross a small lake in Mt. Bethel PA , (near the Delaware Water Gap) it was a unusually calm mornin' in the early fall everything was silent, ya could hear him swimmin' to the other side.

The most peaceful moment of what would turn out to be totaly miserable day, I can still look at it and it calms me right down.:D
