I’ve been reading a lot about sheep lately and their relationship with their shepherd. It kind of makes me feel stupid, but thankful that God is going to be there to protect me and guide me no matter where I wander.
I like the countryside picture best, it would be pretty in the fall too with all those trees. My dad raised cattle, so that one isn’t very special to me and I think the water picture looks lonely.

@ Sis: I don’t think that’s stupid; I, too, am grateful for that knowledge, myself. We are the sheep of his pasture.
Glad you like my pics, esp. the Batawa one. Indeed, once the leaves start to turn, that hilltop view would be gorgeous; I should return…

You must have a lot of wild nature there in Canada! Here we have houses, houses, more houses and factories:).

Oh yes; Canada has lots of wide-open spaces.
But aren’t there wide-open spaces in the Black Forest? Or along the North Sea?

There are a lot of beautiful places, but in general, Western Europe is overpopulated. I heard, it’s different in Scandinavian countries. Never have been there, though. Even high in the mountains, you still come across villages, hotels, tank stations and civilisation. This year we went up a mountain pass in Austria, 1800m high, practically in the middle of nowhere and what do you find over there? A restaurant, and full of people, too.

Fantastic pictures, Will. Canada is such a vast land with a relatively small population. That has always been my attraction to places like Montana and Alaska; wide open areas with a strong similarity to Europe in its general appearance. It feels more like home than here in Florida. I did take some pictures of the sunrise this morning and uploaded them to my blog, check them out – http://occidentaltraditionalist.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/hour-of-the-rising-sun/

Thanks CP! Yes, I understand the western U.S. is similarly low-density in population as Canada tends to be.
Now, the truth is, Canada’s population density story is complex, in that most of Canada’s population, some 90+%, lies within 200 km of the Canada-U.S. border, and so in that ribbon, population density can be quite high (someone compared it to a horizontal Chile) – but even in there, where I live, there are lots of wide-open spaces, as these pics demonstrate. And when you go north of there, it gets almost completely empty.
I will check out your sunrise pics shortly.
