I noticed something on my most recent trip. There is something subtly different about the Canadian landscape. It's not the dramatic height of the mountains, but the fact they feel like they're moving. It's slow - I've been told 3cm per year - but now huge mountains spring out of otherwise flat landscape. Sometimes I have to stop, point, and ask "where on Earth did that thing come from?". I'm standing on wide flat ground when I photographed that monster.
Most of the Australian landscape has this slow, 'eroded' feel. Our spectacular rock formations, formed by wind and rain, show us how ancient Australia is. Canada is still on the move.
