RE: 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - North American Friday week #25 - the absolute winner takes 200 SBD!
★ Beautiful Canadian Wildlife Encounter ★
This photo was taken on our very first roadtrip as a couple in Canada over 11 years ago. We were hiking in the beautiful National Park of Gaspesie, Quebec, Canada, when this majestic moose crossed our path. The animal was splendid minding in own business with no fear as we observed him respectfully. We were lucky to have these beautiful sun rays over him creating this green and dark contrast. (we are no professional photographers but love photos and and still love this photo that reminds us of this beautiful instant).
OMG ! great looking moose. I'm originally from the near by Campbellton/point a la croix, it's been a while since I got a good view of a moose, they are an elusive creature here in the west.
We had been living in Montreal for few months and this was our first hike in Gaspesie, it just appeared and we had never seen one in our entire lives - Amazing sight you are lucky to live in such a beautiful area of Quebec!
Wow lucky you then, your first sight!! Growing up there, moose were the biggest road hazard an saw them every day ( they blend in the twilight and darkness) and cause many car fatalities. Beautiful animal nonetheless! The scenery in Quebec/and New -Brunswick is splendid especially in the Appalachians and the Gaspe coast( covers the entire bay on both sides and different than the town of Gaspe but essentially the same area) but I had to leave because of limited work prospects. On a good note I got to play Frisbee with a moose on my last weekend there(They like to catch it like a dog...oddly enough. Friendly and curious giant but unpredictable when it feels threatened). I upgraded to the Rockies since then :) I'm glad you enjoyed your couple's trip to my homeland and had new experiences!
Oh wahoo, didn't realise, I guess it's like deers in France or Kangaroo in Australia crossing the roads.
We loved our time there, we lived 7 months in Montreal and spent a good 1.5 weeks in Gaspesie during our roadtrip. We spotted bears at the light house in the Forillon National Park as well, that was a little bit scary! Love your country!
