In mid-June 2014, the time had finally arrived for me to travel east from Calgary Alberta to Perth Ontario, a distance of about 3600 kilometres, across a large section of Canada. I took five days. Here are some pictures.

| Pre-dawn mist across the Alberta prairies; grain silo skyscraper |
 |
| First glimpse of the sun along the Trans-Canada Highway |
 |
| Huge prairie skies. Power pylons stretch eastwards. Empty highway. |
 |
| Leaving Alberta behind. Cypress Hills in background. |
 |
| Afternoon rainstorm in Saskatchewan - cyclist heading east |
 |
| There were several lone cyclists making their way across Canada. |
 |
| Sinister clouds as I passed Regina Saskatchewan |
 |
| This wreck maybe caught a squall, or swerved to avoid a deer. |
 |
| My third Province - and still lots of prairie to go |
 |
| Diverted onto farm track west of Brandon Manitoba |
 |
| The western edge of a vast Province, and still over 2,000 km to go |
 |
| Lake of the Woods at Kenora, Ontario |
 |
| A completely different landscape - lakes and forests |
 |
| Dryden, a busy working town, but it feels isolated |
 |
| First exciting view of Lake Superior: Thunder Bay |
 |
| Terry Fox memorial - Lake Superior. A inspiring place. |
 |
| A sea of mist - literally!! Lake Superior's remote northern shore |
 |
| Stunning Neys Provincial Park, I lingered here a day. |
 |
| The view from my campsite beach |
 |
| Moose! Plenty of warning signs along the highway. |
 |
| Goose! No warning at all! At the town of Wawa. |
 |
| Eastern shore of Lake Superior |
 |
| This is how the Voyageurs used to cross Canada |
 |
| Canal at Sault Ste. Marie and bridge to USA |
 |
| Morning mist east of Sudbury |
 |
| A domestic scene on the Ottawa River |
 |
| Arriving Home |
