Last Paddler by PaulZizkaPhoto

Extending the Canadian paddling season in style – under the aurora. An absolutely perfect night in the mountains: a touch of moonlight, the mountains dressed up in white, “warm” temperatures and the northern lights dancing above!

Night Blaze by PaulZizkaPhoto

A wonderful celestial show last night here in Banff National Park, with Procyon and Orion rising over Mount Rundle and a Geminid meteor ripping across the sky above the iconic peak.
The meteors kept showing up outside (or on the edge of) the frame, or they weren’t bright enough to show in a 6-second exposure. Finally one showed up in the right spot!

Utopia by PaulZizkaPhoto

What’s your idea of the perfect night out?
For me, hard to beat a wild place for the tent, icebergs, aurora, stars, calm water to reflect all of it, a few friends to share the view and a cup of tea to top it all off. The only thing missing was the family!
