I have one simple trick for you that will help you take your best cityscape photos every time.

I recently read an article from the Ancient Rainforest Alliance that described the "mossiest rainforest in Canada". As soon as I read about this place I just had to get out there and find it! The problem was that the authors deliberately obscured the exact location of this rainforest, so finding it would not be easy. All I knew is that it was located near Lake Cowichan's Honeymoon Bay.

A rare early season snowfall at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
