For the past few weeks...
The Palette Project #24: Lichen
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. Our inspiration photo this week doesn't feature a sweeping view, mountaintops, or one of the oceans that surround our country...
The Palette Project #23: Parking Lot at Sunrise
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. This week, we're looking at something a little different: a parking lot. No, it's not on a heritage building list or is otherwise notable for its location, in fact it is a Tim Hortons just outside of Saint John, NB (pretty Canadian right?). What we were drawn to from this inspiration photo was not the place, but the time of...
The Palette Project #22: The Wharf
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. We're back in the Maritimes this week-- visiting the community of Malpeque, PEI. Nestled between two natural bays and Cabot Beach Provincial Park, this area of PEI is known for it's delicious oysters and seemingly endless coastline. After exploring the area (it's hard to narrow down options for inspiration!), we came across this row of buildings lining the marina. On...
The Palette Project #21: Sunshine Meadows
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. Landscape knows no boarders. This week we turn to the mountainous region between the BC-AB divide and a beautiful alpine meadow. There are no garden roses and decorative grasses up here, everything is naturally wild. Instead of looking to the larger-than-life views, we crouch down and focus our gaze on something smaller. Our inspiration this week is found in the...
The Palette Project #20: Maligne Lake
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. This week we travel to the heart of the Rocky Mountains to Maligne Lake. Nestled in the Queen Elizabeth Ranges, it reaches over 22km long-- providing breathtaking vistas of both the lake and the seemingly endless mountain ranges. Classic Canadian mountains at their best! Our inspiration photo was taken from the Bald Hills hiking trail, looking along the lake. Not...
The Palette Project #19: Anne of Green Gables
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. Anne of Green Gables is undoubtedly a Canadian Treasure courtesy of Lucy Maud Montgomery. As a fictional character, Anne took many of us in our childhood through the greenery of PEI; now, you can even watch the TV version of Anne's adventures on CBC or Netflix. As many things, nothing beats seeing and experiencing the real thing. Tucked away in...
The Palette Project #18: Montreal Street Art
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. Montreal has long been a hub for the creative, artistic, and change-makers. Just walking about the city you can see the personality of its inhabitants (almost literally) written on the wall. The street art in Montreal ranges from the surreal to the very real, the modest to the ultra-bold. There is a really lovely contrast between the traditional brick and...
The Palette Project #17: Abraham Lake
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. Today we're travelling just slightly east of our Vancouver home to Alberta and visit the icy shores of Abraham Lake. Loved by photographers all over the world, Abraham Lake is renowned for it's unique frozen formations that return each winter: bubbles, voids, and spectacular fissures make their way to the surface to be capture by the ice. This man-made lake...
The Palette Project #16: Channel-Port Aux Basque, NL
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. From the mountains of the west coast to the ocean-side vistas of the east we go...
