Just arrived in Victoria for a couple of weeks to visit friends and family. It was fantastically clear weather on the flight so I actually managed to take a few pictures from the plane that looked like something. Man! This is a big empty country.
The route took us over Greenland and down through the north of Canada near Rankin Inlet and over Fort McMurray to a refueling stop in Edmonton before continuing over the Rockies to Vancouver. From there we caught a ferry to Victoria.
