What’s one new thing you would like to do this year? For me, I’d like to see and photograph more night time sky phenomenon, like the Milky Way and northern lights. The best way to do that is to visit…
Canada / Alberta / Backyard Adventures / British Columbia / Manitoba / New Brunswick / Nova Scotia / Ontario / Prince Edward Island / Quebec / Saskatchewan
Travel to Dark Sky Preserves in Canada and see the stars without light pollution [+Map]

He had lived in the city his whole life, and his friends brought him out to nature to see the stars in all their glory. I'll never forget the look on his face. It was full of wonder and surprise. Living in the country, I know how lucky I am to be able to look up and spot the Milky Way and easily pick out constellations among the crowded sky.
