This year, Canada Day landed conveniently on a Friday, which meant a long weekend. We were tempted to go camping somewhere, but celebrations of the country in Ottawa are a real shame to miss out on, especially when the weather was as nice as it was this first of July. Despite many attempts, I was only able to […]
We first visited the charming, historic town of Perth, Ontario back in April of this year when it was celebrating its 40th annual Festival of Maples. You can about that here. Yesterday, we were there again to watch the its world record-breaking Kilt Run. The first ever Perth Kilt Run was held in June of 2010 by a group of volunteers and was supposed to […]
If travelling in Vietnam or Cambodia, the Mekong River is not to be missed. It has long been a source of sustenance for people in the region, as both countries’ breadbaskets rely on its silts that deliver fertile soil to provide for their populations. Our time on the river started off in Phnom Penh, Cambodia […]
Inle is a freshwater lake in Myanmar’s Shan state (whose eponymous noodles are also worth a try here). It’s the second largest lake in the country at a size of 116 km2, with a population in the neighbouring area of approximately 70,000 people, known as the Intha. We arrived here by night bus from Bagan as […]
Bagan is located in northern Myanmar, slightly to the west. It can be reached by an extremely bumpy four-hour bus ride from Mandalay—the result of poor road conditions. Bagan boasts endless plains dotted with pagodas and monasteries, which during the rainy season are a lush green, but when we visited had been weathered by the […]
Welcome to Pixontrips. This is my first post in a new series called Around Southeast Asia in 24 Days. I’ll be writing on a weekly basis about the various destinations I visited over the span of three and a half weeks this May. My first touchpoint in Myanmar was in Mandalay—the country’s second largest city […]
With trees blossoming everywhere and the Tulip Festival in full swing, Ottawa is amazingly pretty at this time of the year. What to shoot today? Blossom trees or tulips? That is a question. I chose to shoot trees as I recall the Dominion Arboretum offers some wonderful vista from the slope. Arrived at Dominion Arboretum slightly after sunrise, I […]

My legs are a bit stiff after riding 70Km in the CN Cycle for CHEO event. I have participated in the CN Cycle for many years but this year is special: I raised hundreds of dollars by auctioning the prints made from my photographs. Five 18″x12″ photographs printed from an Epson 9880 inkjet printer by Jiffy […]

Nestled in the Canadian Shield, Perth was built on a foundation that has stood proudly for 200 years. Its renowned architectural and natural beauty is enhanced by the people who live […]
