DAY 2: Wow! What a day! My little Vespa finally made it to Montana, USA :) There are lots of highlights from this day such as riding in hail and pouring rain, riding through the fog, swimming in a very cold lake, etc. Unfortunately our trip had to be cut short, we couldn't find any place to stay overnight. We called every hotel in the nearest 4 or 5 towns and couldn't get anything :( ... so we drove through the night and made it to Fernie, BC where we were finally able to find a room.

The drive through Glacier National Park was unbelievable, for sure the best ride I did so far on my scooter! Riding there really reminded me of a documentary "Riding Solo on Top of the World".

2010-08-08 10:03 Sergei Belski: This little scooter is awesome! It really can take you anywhere! If I had money and time I would for sure ride around the World on it :) Ekaterina: Yes every car or bike I owned I have the sticker on it... I like it :)
2010-08-07 11:56 Art Yochim: Sergei, Vespa really needs to put you on a retainer. Your Vespa adventures confirm how useful these machines are!
2010-08-07 09:19 Ekaterina: Beautiful photos, as always. I just noticed you placed the BY sticker on your Vespa, I gotta show it to Ivan, he'll love it;)

DAY 1: This morning Tracy and I and our friends Charmaine and Greg left for a road trip. Greg and I on our bikes and girls following in a car :) Great day of riding today, the weather was perfect and we made it to Waterton Lakes National Park.

2010-08-08 10:06 Sergei Belski: Thank you very much! Katya, for sure drive to the US part of the park... the drive there is really really good! Maple: I put the flag on it just before this trip... thought I should represent Canada when I will be in US :)
2010-08-07 15:32 Maple: I like the Canadian flag on yer Vespa! Nice touch :)
2010-08-07 15:31 Maple: I see that Greg's 'up and adam'. Was he thinking..."GOD- I should have ordered a burger!" hehehehe
2010-08-07 09:18 Ekaterina: Great trip you guys had! It must have been fun to ride the scooter down there. I never think to head down to that area ( and we haven't since the engagement photoshoot that we had there with you) but we really should. Love the B&W of Tracy, it's beautiful and Tracy looks so calm and in the moment.
2010-08-06 09:03 Dawn: Great pictures Sergei, have a wonderful trip. Sure hope to see your everyday adventures.

Beautiful sunny Saturday and I don't have a wedding to photograph so Tracy and I decided to spend our day in Banff. We had a great time!

We stopped to get something to eat at The Eddie burger + bar and it was great! Probably my new favourite burger place :)

2010-07-30 23:45 Viktor: A nice view through Prada sunglasses! If I was a representative of Prada I would pay a good money for the picture.
2010-07-25 06:30 Ekaterina: That's what it was! Sunglasses! Looks interesting. I love the photo of Tracy in the beauty store.
2010-07-24 21:40 Tracy B!: Pretty cool effect with the pic through the sunglasses!! Thanks for a great day!!!

Earlier today I went for a little ride on my Vespa and spent some time around Calgary airport with my friend taking photographs of airplanes.

2010-07-31 12:23 Maple: LOVE that shot of the deer poking his head up from the canola!! :) Sneeky Sergei!
2010-07-22 07:54 Greggy Baby: I think that guy in the blue jacket in much more cute than the deer. How about you hang a picture of him in your house. He looks like a HUNKA HUNKA BURNING LOVE! :P
2010-07-22 07:35 Tracy B!: OH MY-OH MY-OH MY, LOVE the 1st picture! How did you see that and catch that? Where? So Cool! How much do you charge to get it printed and canvas transfered for our house?

I spent a wonderful day with Tracy at the Calgary Stampede today! This year they had an Acrobatic Ice Show featuring such skaters as Elvis Stojko and Olympic Gold Medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, it was a pretty good show! On another note, I parked my Vespa on a $20 parking lot for free, I love my little bike :)

2010-07-16 08:20 Tracy B!: Superdogs was moved to the Upper Level of the Big 4 Building, and the Acrobatic Rock'n'Roll Ice Show replaced them in Corral (which was AWESOME!).
2010-07-16 07:58 Greggy Baby: Looks like fate made sure I didn't make it to Stampede this year. Did they have Superdogs this year? They usually hang out at the Corral.
2010-07-16 07:16 Tracy B!: Thanks for a great time!! Hope your Vespa parking ticket isn't in the mail ;)

My friend Greg and I took our bikes and rode to Drumheller to visit Royal Tyrrell Museum. We met up with Charmaine and Tracy there and had a great picnic with a view :) Wonderful day :)

2010-06-10 13:43 Kendra: love your scooter photos....

Home at last :) Today I did another long ride on my Vespa. This time I headed home. In total, on this trip, I rode for 1300 km and it was wonderful! I didn't unpack all the way yet and I'm already looking forward to a new trip, this time maybe somewhere in British Columbia :)

2010-06-17 10:43 Sergei Belski: Cathy, in my opinion every photographer should have one :)
2010-06-16 21:46 Cathy: I want one! :( Sorry for the random comment... just came across your blog and I love your work. I also have a dream that one day I will have a beige Vespa with pink racing stripes. Sigh.
2010-06-07 15:16 Sergei Belski: Thank you very much Arthur! Selling to Vespa... will see how it will go, for now I'm happy to document my little adventures :) I'm planning on having a little book in the future and have some little ideas but nothing concrete for now. I have been to Saskatchewan on multiple occasions, to photograph weddings, family portraits, and to visit my wife's family. I like it there!
2010-06-07 14:54 Art Yochim: Wow! Fantastic! I love your Vespa series. Have you considered selling these to Vespa? How did you like Saskatchewan? I am from there originally. So much quieter than central Alberta.

Just a relaxing day in Saskatoon :) I did a little city riding, its so beautiful around here with all the big trees on every street! In the morning I made an organic spicy omelet on my little portable stove, turned out to be better than I thought it would be :)

2010-06-03 12:49 Dawn: I see that you have down sized in your new house in Toon Town?? Hope the bears don't get you out in the wild there..... ALL THOSE YEARS OF CAMPING TC.... WOW
2010-06-03 11:59 Mandu: Nice to see that you guys are "roughing" it in dad's backyard.... NERDS!!!!

Yesterday morning I packed my things and headed to Saskatoon. When I was buying my scooter I was thinking of taking it on a longer trips and this trip was one of the trips I was thinking about :) With all the stops on my way to take photographs I made it here in 9.5 hours. I rode about 600km so far and it was great!

Before this trip I bought a MSR Fuel Bottle to carry some extra gas with me. A couple of times I almost ran out of gas, and I know its not much, but I felt better having this bottle with me :)

2010-06-03 06:26 Sergei Belski: Thank you Arthur! I feel about the same about my Vespa photos... similar to that gnome :) Well Everyone, I did calculations and so far after traveling 603km, I used 22.5 litres of gas and spent $24.38.
2010-06-02 21:34 Art Yochim: Sergei, I love your series of Vespa pictures. Kind of like the travels of the Travelocity Gnome. I especially liked the picture in front of the granaries in this Saskatchewan sequence.
2010-06-02 11:11 Sergei Belski: Thank you Brent! So far so good.. but I think it will be raining on my way home.. I guess I will wait and see... but it will be fun anyway :)
2010-06-02 08:50 Brent: Fabulous as usual.. bet it was a fun ride. Hope the weather stays good for you!
