Trans-Canada Train Trip (1999)

These images were taken during a train trip that took us from Ottawa, in eastern Canada, all the way to Vancouver on the west coast. After three days, we were happy to arrive and stretch a bit. After spending some time in the area, we went to the Rockies and rented a car to tour around.
