Nazan and I got inspired at Canoecopia last March by a talk on Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario. We vowed to go see it for ourselves this summer. Quetico is a 4,760 square kilometer paradise for anyone who loves to paddle and loves the solitude of wilderness. We plan to make it an annual trip.
There are very few places on earth quite like this. It’s remote, quiet, peaceful, and most of all beautiful. Because it’s designated a wilderness area, there are no roads or motorized boats allowed. You won’t hear anything other than the wind and loons calling. The only people you encounter are other canoe groups, usually from a distance, and only a few times a day.
It was mostly a vacation, but I took along the pinhole camera to do a little shooting too. Here are a few of the photos I finally got around to processing.
This won’t be the last time I photograph Quetico.
