Having felt a little blue recently, an invite to Canada was the perfect way to cheer me up. I flew from Newcastle to Calgary to indulge in some landscape photography with a group of friends and fellow photographers. This is day one of my trip where we photographed Lake Abraham in the Rockies.

I said to my boyfriend in my most accurate Heaton accent, "Guess which of our favourite UK photographers are here in Canada?" And he said back in his best Heaton, "THOMAS?!" Hahaha we love that you're here, love your videos Thomas! We love your photography skills, but truly appreciate your personality/humour. :)
