I, well one of my photos, made the cover (and centrefold!) of Canadian Wildlife Magazine. 🎉 I won the Canadian Wildlife Federations 2025 Reflections of Nature photo contest. I am chuffed to say the least! #wildlifephotography #photography #nikonphotography

In deep twilight, with only a faint remant of a pink glow visible along a distant horizon, figures move under shadowed trees towards a brilliantly lit Eiffel Tower, their shadows cast back towards us.

Photo of Prime Minister Carney in front of a podium at La Citadelle in Québec City, Québec. A quotation from his speech is edited above: "CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE BUILT A REMARKABLE PARTNERSHIP, IN THE ECONOMY, IN SECURITY, AND IN RICH CULTURAL EXCHANGE. BUT CANADA DOESN'T 'LIVE BECAUSE OF THE UNITED STATES’. CANADA THRIVES BECAUSE WE ARE CANADIAN.”

Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

Proud to have in my collection an exact reproduction of the Warren Cup in the British Museum. It is a Greco-Roman drinking up from the first century AD It depicts scenes of a pair of male lovers on both sides of the cup.
